Gr 7 Up
Cabot's tale of Arthurian legend relived by modern-day teenagers continues. Ellie-still not entirely convinced that she is the Lady of the Lake-wants to reunite Will (the reincarnation of King Arthur) with his estranged parents, but her plans are interrupted by the appearance of Will's half-brother Marco. Recently released from a mental hospital, Marco claims to no longer believe he is Mordred, but is he telling the truth? Or is it all a ploy to keep Will from accepting his true identity in time to save the world? And, in the meantime, will mean girl Morgan's schemes force Ellie out of the running for Homecoming Queen? Coronado's black-and-white illustrations add details not spelled out in the text, allowing readers to see (literally) the past and present incarnations of the characters. A promising series from a proven author.-Beth Gallego, Los Angeles Public Library, North Hollywood
