Our Mission And Vision

Pleasant Ridge is excited to welcome fan-favorite author and creator of the Big Nate series, Lincoln Peirce, as he shares the third and final book in his rollicking time-travel saga, Max and the Midknights. 

In The Tower of Time, everyone’s favorite knight-in-training is back... to back! Max’s twin is public enemy number one, and it’s up to the Midknights to find her before time runs out! But dangers loom, including bloodthirsty trolls, murderous pirates, and even a ruthless king or two. Can Max and her band of loyal friends unlock the mystery of her past?

He will be visiting Pleasant Ridge virtually at 10:00 am on Monday, March 7th.

Students are learning more about Mr. Peirce and his writing during their LRC visits.

Anderson’s Bookshop is offering autographed copies of all of the Max and the Midknights books.  You can visit Anderson’s website to place your order.  If you choose to have the book delivered to Pleasant Ridge, there is no charge for shipping.

Additional information about the books and ordering can be found on this flier.

A huge thank you to our book fair partner, Anderson’s, for bringing us this amazing opportunity to learn from one of our favorite authors.
