"Murray the Knight" is a middle grade graphic fiction novel in the Murray and Bun series by Adam Stower. Murray is a nervous cat who lives with a wizard. Bun is a sentient sweetbun that was brought to life and turned into a bunny (with a cherry tail) by the wizard. Due to living with a wizard, some strange things happen. Their cat door has been enchanted so that it sometimes takes them to weird places. This time it takes them to a medieval castle where the king is trying to marry his daughter, the princess, to a mean and nasty knight. Murray is challenged to a joust for the princess's hand in marriage, though he later finds out that the princess already is in love with a gardner. How can Murray help the princess, and what exactly is jousting anyway?!? A silly and simple storyline with funny artwork and cute characters. The author is British and the vocabulary used in the book might confuse young American readers at first, but the context makes the meaning fairly obvious. A suggested purchase for middle grade graphic novel collections.
