Synopsis:
All fourteen-year-old gamer girl Sophie Sawyer wants to do is defeat Morgan Le Fay in her favorite Arthurian videogame. She has no idea the secret code sent via text message is actually a magical spell that will send her back in time to meet up with a real life King Arthur instead.
Of course Arthur's not king yet--he hasn't pulled the sword from the stone--and he has no idea of his illustrious destiny. And when a twist of fate sends him forward in time--to modern day high school--history is suddenly in jeopardy. Even more so when Arthur Googles himself and realizes what lies in store for him if he returns to his own time--and decides he'd rather try out for the football team instead.
Now Sophie and her best friend Stuart find themselves in a race against time--forced to use their 21st century wits to keep history on track, battle a real-life version of their favorite videogame villain, and get the once and future king back where he belongs. Or the world, as they know it, may no longer exist.

My Thoughts
What happens when the real life becomes a game?
This story is every game lovers fantasy. The chance to not only meet your very own hero, but be one as well. The plot was fun and full of surprises! I also really enjoyed the idea of time travel and exploring how it would affect not only people from the future, but the past as well.
The characters were memorable and full of laughs.
Sophie was very easy to relate to (especially if your a gamer girl). She is tough and a quick thinker which serves her well both in the game and in life. I loved her wit and humor as well even when situations got sticky.
Stuart is the kind of friend every gamer girl needs. Always there when you need him and a great partner in crime. He has a really strong bond with Sophie that is plain to see. I loved how he was always ready to help even when the situations includes a long dead king.
For a hilarious and fun adventure every gamer needs to have check out "The Camelot Code"!
