Sinopse

The locals all fall off their tavern stools with surprise when a 
strange figure arrives to the village. He says he is a knight, and he 
does have a magnificent horse and a gleaming silver sword. But he is 
wearing... a dress! Sir Ulrich has not dedicated his life to fighting 
for one woman - he is fighting for Venus, the goddess of love, and he 
will fight any knight in the land for her honour. Unfortunately, 
fighting in a silk dress is not so easy. 
 
 
 
An unusual tale, based on a real medieval knight, this story is full of Terry Deary's dark humour and dry wit.

    From two New York Times–bestselling authors, a group of young people go to the International Space Station on a mission to save earth from alien invasion.   It was supposed to be just an educational field trip to the Challenger Learning Center, but JJ Wren and her friends find themselves transported into the future, to a time when the human race is under siege from deadly alien invaders. The evil Kylarn have shifted the orbits of three asteroids, sending them tumbling toward Earth—and a direct impact will have devastating consequences. With instructions and skills they learn from the mysterious Commander Zota, JJ and her fellow Star Challengers embark on a mission to the asteroids before it's too late, hoping to divert the giant rocks before they strike Earth. But the alien invaders aren't the only enemy—the Star Challengers have to worry about human traitors, too!   Praise for The Star Challengers series:   “The Star Challengers with their Commander Zota ‘boldly go into the future’ to bring great science fiction adventures to readers. . . . What a wonderful way to expand young imaginations.” —Leonard Nimoy   “Space exploration is an adventure that benefits all mankind. The Star Challenger books inspire young readers with that sense of adventure, introducing them to a universe of exciting possibilities.” —Buzz Aldrin   “The Star Challenger adventure stories could help to inspire a whole new generation of young women to value science and seek careers in high-tech, engineering and space exploration.” —Sally Ride, astronaut

    Princess Natalia lives in the Kingdom of Colour where she balances nature to make sure her people have enough of everything.
    One day she saves a sapphire bird from choking on white goods. Not native to her own kingdom, the presence of the bird threatens their balance. Natalia begins a quest to return the bird to the other side of the Velvet Vines, the mysterious curtain separating the Kingdom of Colour and the world beyond. She takes the nastiest creature in her realm, Rizzle, to help keep the balance. Natalia is shocked by the despair she discovers outside her own kingdom. She enters a kingdom ruled by a gluttonous enchantress called Millenia who has enslaved her people. Princess Natalia must avoid entrapment by the fireflies, save Rizzle from the brink of death and return the white goods to the baker. Realising the people enslaved by Millenia have little, if anything, to call their own, Natalia knows she cannot continue her own comfortable life while ignoring their plight. With the help of colour, a little magic, Rizzle, the baker and her dearest lion cub, Princess Natalia sets out to bring happiness to this new kingdom. When you have everything and others have nothing, restoring the balance is always the right thing to do.
