Buddy is no ordinary teddy bear.
He’s a Knight, crafted by The Nameless Wizard himself, and sworn to protect his Person, 10-year old Mieya, from all the Things-That-Go-Bump-In-The-Night.
When Mieya is cursed into a magical sleep, it’s up to Buddy and his friends Esteban the Bard, Sasha the Warrior-Princess, and Copper the Butterfly to journey across The Realm-Under-The-Bed and find the one responsible.
But this is no ordinary Quest. The Realm is a dangerous place, filled with jungles, deserts, lightning storms, and Monsters. But worst of all is The Queen of Sorrow who waits for them in her dark castle in the crags. To break her curse, Buddy will need more than his skill with a blade, Esteban’s witty songs, or Sasha’s ferocious might.
He’ll need Heart.
About the Author
A native son of Massachusetts, Peter has been living in the Deep South for over 25 years. By day, he’s an insurance professional, saving the world one policy at a time. But at night, well, no one really wants to see him fighting crime in his Spider-Man onesie. Instead, Peter develops new worlds of adventure influenced by his love of science fiction, mysteries, music and fantasy. Whether it’s running role-playing games for his long-time friends, watching his beloved New England sporting teams vie for another championship, or just chilling with a movie, his wife, two boys, one puppy and three cats, Peter’s imagination is always on the move. It’s the reason why his stories are an eclectic blend of intrigue, excitement, humor and magic, drawn from four decade’s worth of television, film, novels and comic books.
Buddy the Knight had a really good premise and don't get me wrong even though I did find it enjoyable and gave it 3 stars for me there were elements that were lacking and it could of been a five star read if they were in place. Peter did a great job in the world building and atmosphere but I felt that for me I would of loved to see the relationship between Mieya and Buddy which was only touched on. Also some of the extra characters I got a little confused who was who but that must be a me thing.
There is no doubt that Peter has an amazing imagination and can certainly write and show us readers what exactly could be under our beds as we sleep.
Like I already have mentioned Buddy the Knight and the Queen of Sorrows receives 3 stars.
