Medieval Mayhem

Middle School Mayhem #5

by C.T. Walsh

What happens when you combine middle school with medieval times? Medieval Mayhem happens, that's what! Middle School Medieval Mayhem is the fifth installment of a planned twelve-book series. And it just could be the best and funniest adventure yet! Austin Davenport is back as he travels back in time to battle his timeless nemesises for honor and glory. Well, sort of. When Austin is embarrassed by baby-faced villain, Randy Warblemacher, in front of the whole school, he decides to drop the gauntlet! And the upcoming Medieval Renaissance Fair is the perfect place for an epic showdown. The only problem? Your favorite nerd needs to transform into a knight! It's a game of thrones throw-down as all of Cherry Avenue Middle School's key players jostle and joust for power, fueled by greed, revenge, and some tasty roasted turkey legs. How can you pass up the prospect of epic sword battles, knightly chivalry, chilling betrayals, and a prison break? Oh, and there might also be a dragon and a kerfuffle with some less-than-chivalrous knights from the underworld. So, a regular ho-hum story… People should use the word kerfuffle more, don't you think? Join Austin and his crew on this legendary quest as they battle and "Huzzah!" their way through danger and those looking to destroy them…too dark? Well, it's an epic conflict between good and evil. What did you expect? Rainbows and unicorns? I mean, honestly… Beware! This series has the tendency to turn reluctant readers into eager ones.

About the author

Besides writing fun, snarky humor and the occasionally-frequent fart joke, I love spending time with my family, coaching my kids’ various sports, and successfully turning seemingly unsandwichable things into spectacular sandwiches, while also claiming that I never eat carbs. I assure you, it’s not easy to do. I know what you’re thinking: this guy sounds complex, a little bit mysterious, and maybe even dashingly handsome, if you haven’t been to the optometrist in a while. And you might be right.

My goal with my writing is to engage young readers with fun and adventure. With so many competing forms of entertainment available to our kids (and so many of them mindless), I really try to provide a reading experience like no other.

I value the importance of combining fun with learning and life values. My stories are humorous and adventurous with strong characters and solid life lessons with some potty humor sprinkled in. You gotta give the kids what they want…Hey, it’s better to read fart jokes than to play video games, right?

[Mererid Evanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lively and entertaining account of a questing competition at a Renaissance Fair. It was the Fair that drew me to the book, the first I've read of the series, and it does a good job of capturing the flavor of such events, for all the silliness. The narrator-nerd impulsively challenges his obnoxious but athletic rival to compete at the Fair, and his friends rally round. There's some typical gross-out humor and many of the characters are over the top, but the tone is good-hearted and for a "quick read" it seems surprisingly substantial.

It was amazing! I loved all the adventures It had in the story and how at the end butt hair went to prison.
