Cute children's book. Her parents turned into pigs due to a magical accident. Igraine needs to go get the ingredient needed to turn her parents back as their home is under threat. Igraine meets the sorrowful knight and he becomes involved in protecting Igraine and her family. (

Eowyn (5) and I started reading this book, but she lost interest and we haven't finished it yet.

This was a fun book to read with the boys. They really liked it and didn't want to skip reading nights which is a sign of a good book. The writing was simple and clear and the story amusing and the main character and her older brother were capable and brave. Recommended for the 8 to 12 year old set. (
