Have you ever noticed that your friends can get you into more trouble than your enemies ever could? Thus starts the third exciting book in Hilari Bell’s Knight and Rogue series. In Player's Ruse the awesome twosome known as Michael and Fisk are back, and this time they pack even more fun and mishaps into their slightly unconventional adventure.

This amusing duo really tries to do what’s right—well, at least Michael, the former knight errant, does. His squire, Fisk, is a rehabbed thief who’s more about saving their necks than saving the day. But in this third and final book, Fisk might have to save Michael from a fate worse than death—unrequited first love. The first book in the Knight and Rogue series, The Last Knight, is now an ALA Best Book for Young Adults title, and both teens and librarians will eagerly await this hilarious installment featuring the unluckiest friends and would-be heroes anyone has ever known.

Praise for the Knight and Rogue series:
“In a story that's part buddy comedy, part Don Quixote, and part mystery novel, Bell outdoes herself with this intrepid pair.”
—School Library Journal

“Great: lots of humor, likable people, mystery and suspense aplenty.”
—Kirkus Reviews
