So much to love about this well-constructed graphic novel for middle grade readers. References to the King Arthur legend abound. Mr. Merlyn is a wise but cool character, a tough combination to get right. But my personal favorite characters are the cauldron-stirring, soothsaying lunch ladies, straight out of Macbeth. 
 Cammuso really nails middle school. Artie King is a reluctant hero that many middle schoolers (regardless of gender) will relate to and root for. The vibrant full-color artwork is good and supports the story well. 
 In this third series installment, Artie learns some invaluable lessons about friendship. The theme of "Don't judge a book by its cover" is also woven into the story. The plot of this book is discrete, so it is not necessary to read this series in order. 
 Cammuso has penned another winner. I hope there are more graphic novels to follow in the Knights of the Lunch Table series.
