Young King Arthur accidentally time
travels to the 21st century and googles himself, discovering the not-so-happily
ever after in store for him once he pulls the sword from the stone. He decides
he'd much rather stay here--and join the football team instead.
Now modern day gamer geeks Sophie and
Stu, with the help of Merlin, find themselves in a race against time to pull a
Camelot-size caper--get that sword pulled from the stone and the stubborn once
and future king back to the past where he belongs. While Arthur takes on the
role of wide-receiver in an attempt to save the football team from a losing
season, Sophie and Stu sword-fight, joust, and horseback ride their way through
Camelot as they fight to save the timeline. If they fail, the world as they
know it (not to mention the existence of pepperoni pizza!) will cease to exist
forever.
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
This is the cutest middle school fantasy novel! We get to follow Sophie and Stu who are modern day best friends as well as avid video gamers. They are obsessed with this game about Camelot which unknown to them they are playing with the actual Merlin from the past. Merlin can time travel as well as send others and he is training Arthur. When the two worlds collide we get lots of adventure, action, and just plain fun. Perfect for readers looking for a fantasy getaway that is based on the tale of King Arthur. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
About Mari:
Mari Mancusi
always wanted a dragon as a pet. Unfortunately the fire insurance premiums
proved a bit too large and her house a bit too small--so she chose to write
about them instead. Today she works as an award-winning young adult author and
freelance television producer, for which she has won two Emmys.
When not writing about fanciful creatures of myth and legend, Mari enjoys traveling, cosplay, snowboarding, watching cheesy (and scary) horror movies, and her favorite guilty pleasure—playing videogames. A graduate of Boston University, she lives in Austin, Texas with her husband Jacob, daughter Avalon, and their two dogs.
Mari is pronounced like the name Mary. Mancusi is pronounced man-COO-see.
