What is The Knight's First Tournament about?

Dan is a young squire with an important challenge ahead: he must ride to the royal castle and compete in the King's tournament to earn his knighthood. His shield is plain and his armour is not the brightest, but Dan comes from a brave family and refuses to give up. With his faithful horse, Mason, he faces a fierce opponent in the joust. Will courage and determination carry Dan to victory? Peep through windows and doors to discover the bustling castle and tournament.
