The Time Traveling Teddy Bear. Knights of the Shining Castle - Alex Alicea

When nine year-old Oliver whispers a wish to see real knights, his Teddy bear glows... and whisks him to a bustling medieval world where a towering castle, clanging armor, and a nervous young knight named Sir Cedric await.

Together, Oliver, Teddy, and Sir Cedric hunt for the legendary Trial of Honor hidden beneath the castle. To succeed, they must pass three heartfelt tests, bravery, wisdom, and kindness, outsmart a swaggering rival, and prove that true knighthood isn't about strength alone but the courage to do what's right. Kids will cheer at jousts, puzzles, and secret passages while soaking up gentle lessons about perseverance, fair play, and helping others

From a chessboard room that moves under your feet to a metal guardian who yields to respect, each chapter blends adventure with values parents love: empathy, teamwork, and confidence. Oliver's magical teddy lights the way, turning every challenge into a game and every fear into a chance to grow. Perfect for bedtime read alouds or early independent readers who crave knights, castles, and a touch of time-travel magic.
