A mysterious new threat sparks a dangerous quest in book two of the epic middle grade series Booklist called “a charming blend of Arthurian legend and Brian Jacques’ Redwall series.”

Young mouse Calib Christopher has nearly completed his training to become a squire to the Knights of the Round Table when news of a deadly plague comes to the castle. Soon all of Camelot is showing signs of the illness, animals and humans alike. Desperate to find a cure, Calib and his friend Cecily set off on a treacherous voyage to find the mythical, healing island of Avalon.

But even as their journey takes them over land and sea, back at home, Calib's human friend Galahad discovers that the true enemy may have already found a way inside the castle walls…

Perfect for fans of New York Times bestselling series like Wings of Fire and Warriors, Mice of the Round Table brings to life a legendary world of animals and magic that kids will want to return to again and again.

      In this sequel to A Tail of Camelot (2016), a mysterious plague threatens Camelot, forcing warrior mouse Calib Christopher to embark on a perilous mission to the magical isle of Avalon while young Two-Legger Galahad faces a formidable foe in King Arthur's malevolent nephew.The unexpected arrival of a sick squirrel-maiden seeking Avalon's healers to cure the deadly sickness infecting her village interrupts Camelot's Harvest Tournament and Calib's final challenges as a graduating page. Meanwhile, Arthur's accomplished, secretive nephew, Red, appears in Camelot with dastardly intentions, sparking 11-year-old Galahad's immediate distrust. Contagion rapidly spreads through Camelot, striking the strongest, depleting ranks of both mice and humans, puzzling healers, and prompting Calib and friend Cecily to search for Avalon while Galahad combs Merlin's Scrolls for a cure. Using the essential qualities of a mouse-knight, "bravery, strength, and wisdom," to fend off highwaymen, treasure seekers, and pirates, Calib and Cecily eventually reach Avalon, where the Lady of the Lake reveals what must be done to remove the curse on Camelot--where Arthur and Galahad are in peril as Red seizes control. Leung artfully weaves familiar Arthurian lore into Calib's and Galahad's personal tales of self-discovery as the nail-biting adventure explores themes of deceit, treachery, loyalty, and sacrifice. Spot art reinforces key motifs. More suspenseful, enthralling mouse-eye perspective on the Camelot legend. (Animal fantasy. 8-12)
