Easily twenty years old, the writer of Shrek has a chapter book that focuses on Gawain, a guardsman for the king. Charged with protecting the king's riches, he and two other humble servant protect the sole entrance to the goods. With in one in and out, and only two keys - one with the king and the other with Gawain - how could the rubies and other prize possessions be disappearing?
Now Gawain stands accused, but he is emphatic that he is innocent! The king and the community begin to turn on him as they reason through how the caper could be completed if it weren't him.
I good tale on standing by friends, dealing with guilt and its consequences, and determining when lines are crossed.
