Bookroo's summary
William and his friend Jason enter a magical castle, seeking the Silver Knight. But a ghost ship and a rat army threaten the kingdom. Can they summon the courage to save it and return home? As they face chilling visions and mysterious portents, the boys must prove their bravery in a world where danger lurks at every turn.
From the publisher
Twelve-year-old William is beginning to wonder if Jason is still his best friend. When Jason challenges William to “jump the trains,” William is terrified but feels he must prove himself. The opportunity arises when his former housekeeper sends him a magic token that once again takes him back to the mystical world of Sir Simon’s castle, this time with Jason. There they face a dangerous army of rats and their gigantic leader. Once, William was a hero in the castle. Now it’s up to him to destroy the rats and save the kingdom in the final battle for the castle.
