  2. Summary The book is about three friends (Fred, Sam, and Joe) who get a strange present from an Uncle and travel back in time to a fantasy version of the medieval days. The story is narrated by Joe in first-person narrative. The story begins with the three boys, in the woods, about to be attacked by an angry knight wearing black armor. The next chapter begins with how Fred, Sam, and Joe ended up in such a bind. It was Joe’s birthday and he received a birthday present from his Uncle Joe, also know as Joe the Magnificent, who is a traveling magician. The present is a strange book, called The Book, and it has a very dark, ornate cover. When the boys open the book they are surrounded by a pale green mist and find themselves teleported back into time. During their adventure within this strange kingdom the three friends must battle a smelly, fat, gigantic giant named Bleob, a fiery-breathing dragon named Smaug, and of course the Black Knight! They meet legendary characters such as Merlin the Wizard, Queen Guenevere, King Arthur, and Sir Lancelot. Throughout the story the friends are trying to figure out a way to get back to their kitchen and their own time period. Will they be able to get back home? Read the book and find out!
