«Amaury, Le tournoi des chevaliers» is the children's novel by Angela McAllister, published by Gallimard jeunesse in paperback (133 pages, in French).
In honour of young Amaury, a knights' tournament is organised, but the poor knight trembles at the idea of taking part: even three days of training won't be enough, and his mare Avoine prefers grazing to entering the fray. When the combat ends, it is announced that King Bidule has disappeared, and Amaury sets off with his friend, Princess Aliénor, in search of the lost monarch.
Published in 2008 in the Folio Cadet collection. French translation by Alice Marchand, illustrations by Ian Beck; the original work is in English. Recommended age: 8 to 10 years.
For early independent readers who are starting chapter novels and enjoy medieval adventures and humour.
