The Last Musketeer by Stuart Gibbs is another one of Mr. Gibbs fun MG stories. It’s full of adventure and daring, difficult situations that the protagonist, Greg Rich, manages to get through. Greg is transported back to Paris, France in the year 1615. Battling Richelieu to save his parents from death, Greg comes across The Three Musketeers, but these young boys don’t even know each other at this stage in their lives. They had yet to become those legendary swordsmen from Alexander Dumas’ stories.
This story offers an interesting look at what Paris looked like 400 years ago, the people, the sights, and the smells.
I’d easily recommend this book to any young library patron, and even as a quick, entertaining read for anyone not so young. And, it’s the first of a 3 book series, so there’s more adventure to come.
The first book in the thrilling time travel adventure trilogy from New York Times bestselling Spy School author Stuart Gibbs—now with a brand-new look! Before they were legends, they were friends. All for one and one for all! On a family trip to Paris, Greg Rich's parents disappear. They're not just missing from the city—they're missing from the century. So, Greg does what any other fourteen-year-old would do: He travels through time to rescue them. Greg soon finds out that his family history is tied to the legendary Three Musketeers. But when he meets them, they're his age, and they'll only live long enough to become true heroes if he can save them. To rescue his parents, Greg must assume the identity of a young Musketeer in training and unite Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—but a powerful enemy is doing everything possible to stop him. And don't miss Traitor's Chase and Double Cross, the next two books in Stuart Gibbs's thrilling Last Musketeer trilogy!
