It’’s really happened—Roland Wright is to join the royal household at Twofold Castle as a brand-new page! This is his big chance to impress the King and his knights. But Roland encounters a few difficulties:
- The Queen hates mice, so it looks as if Nudge, Roland’’s pet mouse, can’’t stay.
- There’’s an older page who makes sure poor boys like Roland are sent home in disgrace.
- A huge, tusked animal is on the loose. If things don’’t improve, Roland’’s dream of being a knight could be over in a day.
