Elaine has just moved to Annapolis while her professor parents are on sabbatical. In the first few days she meets Will while running in the park, and feels an instant connection. Later she notices a lot of similarities between Will and his friends and the story of King Arthur and the knights of the roundtable. Elaine seems to fit in as the reincarnation of the lady of Shallot. This was a very enjoyable contemporary twist to King Arthur; things move very quickly as Elaine has to move fast to find out what is going on and to prevent tragedy. Quite gripping and worth reading. Probably my favorite Meg Cabot book.

The book is a bit slow moving on the Arthur legend, but towards the middle it starts to pick up. If you don't know much about King Arthur, don't worry you'll be fine, as this book tweaks the legend a bit, as things do not go according to plan.
But basically this book focuses on what the Order of the Bear believe, that Arthur will come back one day to save the world fraom darkness. But apparently Arthur has been coming back every year, he just keeps getting killed (bummer huh?). Ellie gets wrapped up in it all and has to find a way to either change things for the better or get it all back to the way it should be.
A very interesting read. And a good read for the summer as this book focuses on floating in your pool (for the first chapter Ellie talks about how she loves to float in her pool)

Quite a unique and different take on the Arthurian legends. Makes me want to learn more about it. Written on a teen level, but entertaining to adults as well.

VERY good book! Kept me in suspence the whole time I read it, which was in two days. Nice love story. I love how it all ties in with the story of King Arthur! Really good read, lots of fun.
