This deliciously humorous picture book follows one young knight on a quest to overcome his fear of the dark to find a midnight snack.

Sir Julian has a BIG problem. It’s bedtime, but he’s starving!

Desperate for a snack to tame the hungry, grumbly beast in his stomach, he sets out on a quest to the kitchen.

But there are frightening unknowns lurking around every corner. Can he summon the courage to brave the dark and stop his rumbling tummy?

    Publishers Weekly
  • “Digital art effectively depicts Sir Julian’s wide range of emotions, from trepidation to terror to triumph … kids will enjoy comic nods like the overly dramatic depiction of the unfamiliar—and therefore—monstrous dinner.”
    Kirkus
