Book Description: In "The Knight at Dawn" by Mary Pope Osborne, Jack and Annie find themselves in a medieval mess that's more thrilling than a jousting match at a royal tournament! Imagine this: you're exploring a mysterious tree house, when suddenly, whoosh! You're catapulted back in time to a world of castles, knights, and more—oh my!

Now, here's the twist: Jack and Annie aren't just spectators in this medieval marvel; they're on a mission to uncover the secrets of the past and escape the cruel guards! But wait, there's more! The real challenge? It's not just navigating the cobblestone streets and dodging suits of armor that seem a tad too lively.

Armed with nothing but their smarts, a trusty book, and a dash of medieval moxie, Jack and Annie dive headfirst into a whirlwind of adventure, uncovering hidden passageways, befriending jesters, and maybe even escaping some guards along the way. Can they crack the code of chivalry and solve the mystery before they find themselves locked in the dungeon for eternity? Join them on this knightly escapade for a quest filled with laughs, thrills, and enough magic to make Merlin himself proud!
