What is Rotten Luck! about?

Cedric Thatchbottom is eager to train as a squire for the legendary Sir Percival the Proud. Unfortunately, Sir Percy is not quite the hero Cedric expected, and life at Castle Bombast is exhausting. When a terrifying outlaw called the Ghost threatens the locals, the king sends them into Grimwood to capture him. But the forest holds more dangers than a gang of robbers, and Cedric and his master must face strange creatures, narrow escapes and plenty of rotten luck.
