Kaye is an ordinary boy who dreams of becoming a legendary knight like his absent father. When the new queen knights Kaye for doing a brave deed to help another person, he gets his wish a lot sooner than he expected . . . but he's got a lot to live up to. Can he hold his own against all the other knights who hate him? Can he outwit the terrible Sir Melchor and defeat him in the tournament? Can he help the queen save her kingdom . . . even a little bit?

The Knighting of Sir Kaye by Don M. Winn is the tale of a young, new-to-the-job queen who takes a risk and knights twelve-year-old Kaye for doing a brave deed. Now Kaye must triumph over his father's enemy—the mighty Sir Melchor—in a tournament or disgrace the queen forever in the eyes of her new subjects.
