Sir Percy prefers not to spend his money on servants at Castle Bombast. Cedric the page boy just about manages to look after Sir Percy and the stronghold.

But then the King decides to keep his top-secret weapon at Castle Bombast because he has been told it has lots of guards. Unfortunately for Cedric, this means he has to find a dog and guards for the castle, without any help or money from Sir Percy.

When the top-secret weapon goes missing, it becomes Cedric's job to find it and get Sir Percy out of trouble again.

Readers will laugh at the crazy adventures of Cedric the page boy. There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot, along with secret tunnels and a dog with a fantastic sense of smell.
