Part of the spell has already been broken.

The first stones have begun to crumble.

In Artie Kingfisher's world, wizards named Merlin, fire-breathing dragons, and swords called Excalibur exist only in legends and lore—until the day his video game Otherworld springs to life.

You are special, Arthur,

Says the mysterious message in his game.

In one week's time you will come to me at the it.

Cryptic clues lead Artie to a strange place called the Invisible Tower, where he discovers that nothing in his life is as it seems. Artie is none other than King Arthur, brought to life in the twenty-first century. Artie has won the battle in the virtual Otherworld—now the key to saving the real Otherworld lies in his hands as well.

Green dragons, hungry wolves, powerful sorcerers—suddenly Artie must battle them all as he wields Excalibur and embarks on a quest worthy of the Knights of the Round Table. With his sister, Kay, by his side, Artie steps into the Otherworld—straight toward his destiny.

      Gr 5-8-The King Arthur legend gets a modern update in this new series. Artie Kingfisher, 12, doesn't realize that he is special until he is contacted by a mysterious Mr. T (aka Merlin) through his favorite Otherworld video game. A powerful magical demonstration convinces Artie that he really is a clone of the original King and that it is his duty to reconnect the real Otherworld with his world and save both from impending disaster. He and his 13-year-old sister, Kay, locate Excalibur and set off on a quest for the key that will free Merlin from his tower prison. Short, action-packed chapters (each with a cheeky title), funny dialogue, and an amusing trick for pulling the wool over the eyes of a parent, who would definitely not approve of sword-fighting practice with razor-sharp blades in the backyard, make this book a surefire hit with the legions of Rick Riordan fans. Adults may be disappointed that Artie gets knowledge and battle skills magically instead of through hard work, but kids won't care, and it's the choices and natural leadership that he displays that mark him as the true king. The witch Morgaine is set up as the villain, but only her minions make an appearance, and the final battle won't happen for at least few more books.-Caroline Tesauro, Radford Public Library, VA
