Harry, it's great to see you again!
Wait...

This book is about a school where knights are trained. Henry Grim, an orphaned boy, is accepted into the school, Knightley Academy, and is welcomed with fairly open arms.
The main characters are Henry, Francesca "Frankie" Winter, Adam, Valmont, and Rohan.
I found a lot of similarities between Harry Potter and this book;
-wise old man (Dumbledore/man-I-forgot-name-of)
-hero with cool name(Harry Potter/Henry Grim)
-good friends(Hermione & Ron/Frankie & Adam)
-annoying school brat(Draco Malfoy & Valmont)
-"Lord"(Lord Voldemort & Lord Havelock)
I couldn't find a good conflict in the book, so I didn't award the book that star.
The ending is a sort of happy, giddy, Deathly Hallows-esque one; the friends sort of walk off into the sunset.
Overall, the book was a quick and easy read, and I recommend it for anyone wanting their post-Harry Potter fix.
The sequel, The Secret Prince, is released June 28th, 2011.
