Description: Middle-schoolers Gregory Guest and Yolanda Torres don't expect to use their strange lenses to return to the King Arthur story. But when their friend from that other world goes missing, they're afraid he will accidentally destroy their own reality. When the Taker and the Keeper travel back through the eerie tunnel, they find themselves in a completely unexpected story and a reality full of new dangers. A fire-breathing dragon seems determined to devour them, and Morgan le Fay is up to no good again. Even worse, according to the famous story, their friend Merlin will die a mysterious death. Must they allow that to happen exactly as foretold? This time, Gregory and his friends face danger in both history and legend.
