When Joanna Murray’s parents split up, her English mother takes her back home to England, where she is placed in St. Agatha’s Academy, a private school where only “the best children go.” But Joanna is no mood to try and get along with her schoolmates, who she regards as weird and snobbish. This is especially true of a group of giggling girls and their ringleader, Dennis Dinwiddy, a spotty, rat-faced boy who takes an instant dislike to Joanna on sight. It is when Joanna is auditioning for the school play — a musical version of Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court — that Dennis “Dimwit” gets his chance for ultimate revenge by opening a trapdoor in the stage, sending Joanna plummeting into the abyss . When she lands, Joanna finds herself in the 6th Century, during the time of Camelot and King Arthur. Will history be rewritten? And if so, how will it affect the future?
JOANNA MURRAY is a very special girl; not because she is a powerful witch or the lost princess of a kingdom from long ago and far away. Nor is she a secret agent or a vampire hunter or a child prodigy. No, Joanna is special in the way that all girls are special who grow up in a big city and have hopes and aspirations to be a super-model on Monday, and a famous writer on Tuesday, and the first woman president of the United States on Wednesday, and so on. In other words, Joanna Murray is special because she is twelve, going on thirteen, and has the great adventure of life stretching out before her and still believes that anything is possible.
You might be saying to yourself that Joanna Murray is really an ordinary girl, and you may if you wish But, as you will see, extraordinary things can happen to ordinary people when they least expect it; after which, nothing is ever ordinary again.
