Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good question
Review: Many a person's fantasized about living in Arthurian times, despite the ickiness and violence of the era. What if you were given the CHOICE? It's a good question that is raised pretty well in this particular book...

Lindsay, the main character, suffers along the same lines as many literary high school students. The way to avoid being squished is to stay out of the way. But when she is roped into a school production of Arthuriana, she is suddenly transported to the REAL Camelot. And the question is raised: would you rather be a downtrodden sophomore, or a far more respected person in the glorious court of King Arthur?

It's a good question, handled fairly well, though I would've preferred a little more depth in the handling. Lindsey is a sympathetic character with understandable worries and responses to things that happen to her, both past and present. The writing style is a trifle bare, and often I felt that I didn't have enough insight into what was going on there.

All in all, a nice time-travel read and nice Arthurian read.
