What is The Secret Diary of Jon Drawbridge, a Medieval Knight in Training about?

John Drawbridge has arrived at Widemoat Castle to train as a medieval knight, but mastering horses, lances and castle defence is harder than he expected.

When Welsh invaders attack the castle, his training is put to the test. Can this accident-prone young knight uncover their plan and help save Widemoat before it is too late?
