Synopsis

A funny and pun-filled retelling of “The Sword in the Stone” that introduces readers to 3-D geometry. 

King Arthur has hidden his sword, Edgecalibur, and issued a challenge to the knights. The first knight to find the sword will be the next king. Can Sir Cumference and Lady Di point Radius's best friend, Vertex, in the right direction? Will Vertex's sharp thinking give him the edge?

Join Sir Cumference, Lady Di of Ameter, and their son, Radius, in this new adventure where they race to help Vertex find the sword and discover the secrets of cubes, pyramids, cylinders, and cones.

One fine morning, Sir Cumference, Lady Di of Ameter, and their son, Radius, sat eating breakfast in King Arthur’s castle.
            Suddenly, the door flew open and a young knight ran into the room. It was Vertex, Radius’s best friend. “I’ve found out why King Arthur called us all here!” Vertex exclaimed.
            “The King wants to choose an heir,” Vertex explained. “Five knights are competing for the honor. I’m one of them.”
            “You would make a fine king,” Sir Cumference said.
            “That’s right,” agreed Radius. “You helped the King make peace with the Euclideans last year.”
            “Yes, but now I have to solve the puzzle on this parchment,” Vertex said. “The King has hidden his sword, Edgecalibur. The knight who finds it will be the next king.”
