Bookroo's summary

When Sir Lancelot decides to retire, a group of young adventurers, led by his admirer Erica, must persuade him to face Grizzlegore, the world's oldest dragon. Will they reignite his fighting spirit, or is the legendary knight truly done with heroics? As they embark on this daring quest, the stakes are high, and the outcome uncertain. Can they bring Lancelot back to his glory days, or will the dragon's reign continue unchallenged?

From the publisher

Sir Mort engineers a class trip to a home for olde knights. But when the lads and lasses arrive, they discover that Sir Lancelot has decided he’s had enough of hacking and whacking and is ready for retirement himself. Find out how Erica (his most fervent admirer), Wiglaf, and the rest of the gang get Lancelot back in action, battling the feared Grizzlegore, the world’s oldest living dragon.
