There's Always a Reason

Wendell, a high school outcast, lives a lonely, suburban existence, losing himself in books in order to avoid his distant, motorcycle-riding stepfather, Ted. When the school bullies convince Wendell to explore the long-abandoned Renaissance Faire grounds they all believe to be haunted, Wendell is surprised to find a man living in the barn. His new acquaintance seems the definition of crackpot, believing himself to be a medieval knight names Sir Habersham, tasked with the duty of slaying the dragon he insists is wandering the woods. But when Wendell starts hearing rumblings--and listening to Habersham's stories--he starts wondering if perhaps it could all be true. In a heartfelt coming-of-age story, Wendell must defy logic in order to follow his heart.
