Maybe Mumblin dodged and the spell hit someone else; maybe he had a protective spell ready that deflected the spell back at the intended targets; maybe someone jumped in front of the spell and protected Mumblin, getting petrified in his place; or maybe Mumblon was hit by the spell and turned to stone.

''Max & the Midknights'' is a [[ChildrensLiterature Children's Book]] series by Lincoln Peirce, the creator of the ''[[Webcomic/BigNate Big]] [[Literature/BigNate Nate]]'' series.
One day, Nate turns in a book report about "Max & The Midknights" to Mrs. Godfrey for his history class. He assures Mrs. Godfrey that it is a historical report because it's set in the middle ages and features kings, a dragon, and a WickedWitch.
The story is about Max, a young boy (actually a girl) who dreams of becoming a knight. However, she seems destined to become a troubadour under her uncle, "Sir" Budrick, who as troubadours go, isn't all that good a singer. Their travels bring them to the Kingdom of Byjovia, where Budrick spent his most formative years before leaving to become a troubadour (which he did so he didn't have to become a knight). He remembers Byjovia as a prosperous kingdom under the rule of King Conrad the Kind, who was loved by all but his brother Gastley, who sought to take the throne for himself. Thankfully though, Conrad banished him a long time ago. So, the two decide to go there.
Only, it seems Byjovia has become its polar opposite since Budrick was last there. Conrad set off a year ago to battle a monster at the land's borders, and never returned. In his absence, Gastley returned and took the throne for himself. Now Byjovia is a miserable place full of crabby, grumpy people, and it's actually against the law to be a vagrant, even if you're a kid. What's more, when Gastley learns that Budrick is an entertainer, he takes him into the castle to make him his jester, leaving Max out on the street.
However, Max won't take all this sitting down. Teaming up with fellow vagrants Simon and Millie, and new friend Kevyn, Max decides they will become the knights Byjovia needs to kick Gastley off the throne.
There are three books in the series.
