This thrilling and action-packed tween trilogy from Full Fathom Five, James Frey's packaging company, brings the myths and heroes of Arthurian legend to life in the 21st century--perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and The Magnificent 12.
Twelve-year-old Arthur Artie Kingfisher is a master gamer-- especially when it comes to Otherworld, a game that involves sword-fights, dragon-slaying, and epic battles.

Artie is noticing aches and injuries that perfectly match what happens to his avatar...and he stumbled upon hidden messages in the game that are meant for him and him alone.
Little does Artie know, the game was actually designed for him. To his amazement, Artie discovers that he is Arthur--as in King Arthur--brought to life in the 21st century, and fate is about to lead him right to Mr. M., a mysterious old man who Artie soon learns is Merlin himself. Merlin has been imprisoned in an Invisible Tower in modern-day Ohio for many lifetimes, and only Artie has the ability to set him free, with the help of his sister, Kay. All he needs to do is walk through the door of the tower and into another world....
