Arthur Penhaligon thinks he’s just an ordinary kid but his destiny is calling and it involves a sword ... of the legendary variety.
Skateboarding might just have to take second place.
Who is the mysterious Crow Man? Why is he following Arthur and his friends? And who is the new teacher who's arrived at school?
Arthur and his friends find themselves sucked into an epic world of magic, mystery and danger.
A world where people travel through time, animals take control, and rivals are willing to resort to murder.
Myth and legend, fantasy and adventure have never seemed so real, or so dangerous.
Excalibur is waiting.
When I was about 10 -14 years old, I loved reading action & adventure stories and mysteries filled with magic. I used to haunt our local library, borrowing anything with a vaguely magical theme. It had to be well-written with a gripping story, action-filled and a page-turner. (My all-time favourite author? C.S.Lewis.) So the seeds were sown. One day I’d write books for children too!
The next question: So is this book for boys or girls?
The answer: For both!
Boys and girls between the ages of 10-14, teens and preteens, have read and loved it; although lots of adults are enjoying it too!
If you love a fast-paced fantasy, then THE CAMELOT INHERITANCE series could be right for you.
I'd be absolutely delighted (and honoured) if you like it enough to leave a review.
