Book Synopsis:
When nerdy Rich Witz unwittingly becomes a Paladin,
a white knight, in training, he is thrust into a world where flunking a test
can change the course of history and a mysterious bully is playing for keeps
with his life.
Rich’s
grandmother leaves him with one thing before disappearing for good: a white
chess pawn with his initials engraved on it. The pawn marks him as the next in
an ancient line of white knights. He must prove himself in a life or death
contest against his Nemesis, a dark knight in training, all while dealing with
math homework and English projects. With
the ghost of an ancestor for his guide, he has seven days to complete four
tasks of valor before his Nemesis does, or join his guide in the realm of the
dead.
As Rich
rushes to complete the tasks, he realizes the chilling truth: his Nemesis is
masquerading as someone at school and will stop at nothing to make him fail. As
the tasks grow ever harder, the other knights reveal to him that his failure
will break a centuries-old chain and bring the Paladin order to ruin. If he
fails, the dark knights win the right to control the fate of the world, a world
without hope or the possibility of a new dawn.
So this is one exam Rich has to ace, with no curve and no extra credit.
