Bookroo's summary

Arthur of Camelot lands in the 21st century, discovering his tragic future as king. With Merlin's help, gamer-geeks Sophie and Stu must return him to his time. But with Lady Morgana threatening their mission, can they outsmart her and restore the timeline? The fate of their world—and Arthur's—hangs in the balance.

From the publisher

“Imagine The Sword in the Stone with a dash of Freaky Friday and a pinch of World of Warcraft–this funny, fast-paced adventure is chicken soup for the geek’s soul.” – Zack Clark and Nick Eliopulos, authors of The Adventurers Guild series When young Arthur of Camelot accidentally time-travels to the 21st century and Googles himself, he discovers the not-so-happily ever after in store for him once he pulls the sword from the stone. Yes, he’ll go from squire to sovereign basically overnight, but he’ll also lose the love of his life to his best friend and eventually die in battle. What’s a once-and-future king to do? Easy: stay in the future, where he’ll actually have a future–and join the football team instead. Now, with the help of the great wizard Merlin, modern-day gamer-geeks Sophie and Stu find themselves in a race against time to get that sword pulled from the stone and the stubborn soon-to-be-king Arthur back to the past where he belongs.
