4-6LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS: Knights Academy series.
Illustrated by
Alessandro Valdrighi.
When shy orphan Fletcher arrives at the Knights' Academy, he accidentally unleashes a dormant "Forbidden Power." Fletcher and his enthusiastic friend Izzy must reclaim the Forbidden Power to defeat the undead Baron von Bludgeonous. With black-and-white illustrations, this standard-issue school story is ideal for fans of LEGO toys, though it contains an incongruous mix of medieval trappings, magic, and sci-fi gadgetry.
