This middle grade graphic novel series makes YOU the valiant hero of a fantasy quest—pick your panel, find items, gain abilities, solve puzzles, and play through new storylines again and again!

Magic, adventure, and triumphant battles await you in this graphic novel that plays just like a role-playing game. Choose to play as one of three brothers eager to join the Royal Order of Knights, and keep track of your hit points, abilities, and inventory on a handy adventure tracker sheet—then set off on your quest! The road to knighthood is a long one: you will journey through snowy mountains, haunted lakes, and dark forests in search of the bracelets of bravery, facing down trolls, wizards, and fellow warriors along the way. You will solve riddles, discover hidden compartments, learn combat techniques, and gather magical objects. With the analog fun of a tabletop game and the classic elements of a fantasy video game, you'll pick your own paths and forge your own knighthood in this irresistible comic book.

HERE’S HOW TO PLAY:
• Select your character and begin your quest.
• Numbers are hidden in every panel. Decide where you want to go next, and then flip to the panel with the matching number.
• Solve puzzles and collect bravery bracelets in your quest for success.
• If you fail your mission, just start again from the beginning! You can play the book again and again, making different choices every time.

Remember, this is no ordinary comic book—what happens next is up to you!

My 8 year-old son loves this book, however, I was disappointed at how many pages don’t have any words; just pictures.

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018

Knights Club: The Bands of Bravery by Shuky is a remarkably fun book. I’ve always been rather fond of choose your own adventure books which is why it’s rather unfortunate that I haven’t read a great many. I really enjoyed Knights Club, the various paths I could take and experience. Each choice brought a different encounter exciting enough to prompt me to read it multiple times in order to try and experience them all. There’s a lot of uniqueness to this novel, but the most enticing for me was the fact that I got to pick which character I was. You’re limited to three options, the choice between a group of brothers who all desire desperately to become knights and it was really quite exciting.

The adventure is largely image based and you navigate the world by flipping the pages to different numbered comics as you embark on your journey. A surprising number of the images did not include text, which I’ll admit disappointed me slightly.. It did feel as though I was just being forced to flip pages with no action whatsoever when I got to these sections, an image of scenery with the choice of different page numbers to visit. While I certainly appreciate the effort and the idea, I would have enjoyed it more if there was a bit more to get from these portions of our journey. Even so, it does add a level of realism to the book, the truth that all quests have their tedious moments one that readers might benefit from experiencing. I do think this message might get lost on some within the age group this book is written for, though.

I did deeply enjoy my experience with this book and would certainly read it again. In fact, I’d definitely consider buying it for my niece one day when she’s old enough to read. I don’t think there are enough books like this out in the world and am eager to see more of them succeed. One thing I will note, however, is that I don’t think this book does well in e-book format, largely because it can be difficult to find the numbered scenes you’re directed to as the story continues to progress. It was quite a task and certainly added to the tediousness of it all. This is something I think could possibly be fixed as I’ve seen it work before where the ebook is formatted so that a link is provided for the page the choose your own adventure book is directing you to in that moment. Knights Club would definitely benefit greatly from this if it is to be offered in ebook format. Believe me, your readers will thank you for it.

Knights Club is a fun, engaging, graphic novel that keeps you interested the whole way through. Plus, the artwork is pretty fantastic which is a great plus.

much much harder than other similar books.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

My son was very excited to get the book, because he just finished reading Hocus and POcus book that is a book-game of very similar type. Turned out, this book is quite different and it is much more frustrating to play. It has the same structure - you choose a character, with his stats (strength, agility, etc) and go on adventure collecting bracelets (and some other random items and coins) Unlike Hocus and POcus book which leads to the win every single time, this one has tons of dead ends where you die and have to start over, and also you can get in a loop that you cannot escape and so you fail your quest to find 13 of the bracelets. We had to play five or six times before we could finish the quest. What I did not like about it was several times you get the same panel that has the same text, but at least they direct you to different places. There is also some maze-like places where you just go around in circles unless you remember the panel numbers of where you already visited. Also, there was at least one place where you get a number that I could not see at all, and my son had trouble reading the actual numbers because they were that hard to read. He had to point repeatedly for me to see that there are numbers, and it was impossible for me to read them. At least he got a few bracelets from the find. The book is printed on shiny coated paper and our pencils would not write on them - you need to write down the stats and the finds. Crayons did work.
Anyway, he is very excited about the book, and now awaiting for the next book in the series.

Reading, yet playing a game

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

My 7-year-old LOVES this book/game. He says that when nobody else wants to play with him, it's a great way to have an adventure by himself. The book is reminiscent of Dungeons and Dragons and Choose-Your-Own-Adventures. As you read, you make choices about what your character will do. If you make good choices, you collect coins, spells, weapons, and bravery bracelets. But, if you make bad choices, you might might get caught or fall into a pit (to name just a couple of examples) and you have to begin your adventure at the beginning again. If you collect enough bravery bracelets, you win, thus becoming a knight of the royal order. There are coins and bravery bracelets hidden throughout the pages, so readers have to keep a good eye out for them, and that just adds to the challenge and fun.

There are score sheets at the beginning of the book, so multiple readers can engage with the book and it can be read again and again. You can also just keep score on paper.

My son has "played" this book at least 5 times already and would play it again and again.

A huge hit! Perfect for getting the kids away from technology for good ol' fashion fun.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This was so awesome! I just did this with my 9 year old son and we spent about an hour with it on our first adventure. The mechanics were very interesting...I had to help explain it and showed him how the tracking sheet worked. I can see how if a parent just gave this to their kid and they couldn't figure out how it worked how it would be quickly abandoned. But after doing the first round together, he just took off after that. And it was neat how decisions played out. This is a great book, perfect to take on vacations or for the summer time. Granted, there isn't too much actual reading involved but it was fun, let him use his imagination and kept him away from screens. I especially like how this can be played again and again.

This has been a big hit; I'm getting all the books in the series!

Edit: We have now played this 4 times, two times in which we died and two times when five nights had passed but we didn't collect enough bravery bracelets. My son still loves this and wants to keep going!
