The Eldridge Conspiracy (Sir Kaye the Boy Knight Series) by Don M Winn is a great children’s adventure book. I didn’t read the previous books in the series, but I did find it easy to understand this story and what was going on because Mr. Winn provided sufficient background. This is an action-packed story, one that is full of twists that take the boys deeper into danger. This is more than just a fictional story; it teaches children about life, about friendship, making decisions, and about not putting too much stock in pride all the time – sometimes pride gets in the way of making the right decision. Great story. I would recommend that the whole series be read in order to get the most out of it and I think all kids will enjoy this tale.

The Eldridge Conspiracy: Sir Kaye the Boy Knight, Book 4 is a fantasy adventure novel for children and preteens written by Don M. Winn and illustrated by Dave Allred. Reggie was concerned when Beau nudged him awake in the middle of the night. Kaye had left without them, and his two friends could only guess that he was trying to find his father. Sir Henry had been gone for two years now and was living in Eldridge in the king’s castle as an ambassador. Kaye’s concerns about the well being of his father and the king were well-founded, but Reggie and Beau were determined to catch up with their friend and help him with his quest. They didn’t get very far, however; as they were soon apprehended by Birket and Fulkes, two villainous men the boys had gotten the better of in the past. They escaped, but something the two villains said gave Beau and Reggie concern that Kaye’s fears were indeed well-founded. There was a conspiracy afoot; Baron Thomas of Denbrooke had set in motion a foul plan that would result in the king being slain at the hands of his close friend, Sir Henry. The three boys were bound and determined to ensure that it did not happen.

Don M. Winn’s fantasy adventure novel for children and preteens, The Eldridge Conspiracy: Sir Kaye the Boy Knight, Book 4, is an exciting and fast-paced tale about three 12-year-old boys who take chivalry and knightly conduct quite seriously, and it’s a very inspiring read. Reggie, the narrator and chronicler of Sir Kaye’s adventures, is dyslexic and has trouble writing, something he actually uses to his advantage in this fantasy tale. Kaye just wants to be like his father, and he blames himself and his failings for his father’s two-year absence. As they race to the tournament site where the treachery is to take place, each of the three boys comes of age in his own way. Reggie learns that he has value and importance as the Royal Chronicler, and Kaye discovers that being his own knight is far better than trying to emulate someone else, even his father. The three of them follow chivalric precepts instinctively as they work to free a woman and her child who were taken hostage. I loved following how the boys use their wits, ingenuity and dogged persistence against foes far stronger and more powerful than they are. Can you achieve impossible things? Sometimes, you can, as Reggie, Kaye and Beau discover in this fourth volume in the Sir Kaye the Boy Knight series. The Eldridge Conspiracy is most highly recommended.
