Knight-in-training Tim and his best friend, Belinda, embark on a quest to save Princess Grace in this second book in the hilarious, highly illustrated Once Upon a Tim middle grade series from New York Times bestselling author Stuart Gibbs.

Prince Ruprecht is VERY UPSET that knights-in-training, Tim and Belinda, have thwarted his plans and ruined his chances with Princess Grace. And so, to get even, he has kidnapped the princess and trapped her in the most complicated, dangerous, complex, dastardly, biggest (okay you get the point)…and scariest maze in all the world!

Now it’s up to Tim, Belinda, Ferkle, and Rover to fend off menacing beasts (like the minotaur), conquer treacherous obstacles (like chasms filled with cave sharks), find their way through the labyrinth (which is very tricky), and rescue the princess before time runs out. Oh, and also they need to remember how to get back out again…or they’ll be trapped inside the maze forever.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Throughout Gibbs’ lighthearted, laugh-out-loud tale, Curtis supplies proper notes of farce or stark terror as appropriate in flurries of line drawings...[a]long the way, Tim adds educational value to his narrative by flagging and then pausing to define vocabulary-building words like laborious and vexing. A lighter-than-air blend of knightly exploits and rib-tickling twists. ― Kirkus Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for all readers
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2023
I loved reading this novel and laughed out loud often. The narrator breaks the fourth wall throughout and this added so much of the sarcastic sense of humor I share. Silliness and absurdities abound but the message of being an honest, loyal friend gives this illustrated chapter book a deeper meaning for readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and humorous!
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2023
There aren't many humorous chapter books for the middle grades, but this one steps up to the plate and fills the void. Add a slightly snarky voice, asides to the reader, and illustrations make this addition to Stuart Gibbs's “Once Upon a Tim” series a winner. I highly recommend!
