To the Rescue!: Book 2 (Nickelodeon: Max & the Midknights)

Lincoln Peirce is a New York Times bestselling author and cartoonist. His comic strip Big Nate appears in over 400 newspapers worldwide and was adapted into a bestselling young reader series that has sold over twenty million books. Nickelodeon has created an animated series based on the character.

The Max and the Midknights series originated as a spoof of sword and sorcery tales. Lincoln later rewrote the story with a new and memorable protagonist—Max, a ten-year-old apprentice troubadour who dreams of becoming a knight. Each Max & the Midknights book is supported by hundreds of dynamic illustrations employing the language of comics. Of the lively visual format that has become his trademark, Lincoln says, “I try to write the sorts of books I would have loved reading when I was a kid.” Max & the Midknights has now been adapted into an animated series by Nickelodeon.

When he is not writing or drawing, Lincoln enjoys playing ice hockey, doing crossword puzzles, and hosting a weekly radio show devoted to vintage country music. He and his wife, Jessica, have two children and live in Portland, Maine.
