As a shy, introverted, scholarly child (long ago) I don’t know what I would have done without libraries! My family moved often. I was always the new kid in town. The library always offered me my first and most important friendship: the place where I felt right at home. I still feel that way today, about libraries.

Cryptic clues lead Artie to a strange place called the Invisible Tower, where he discovers that nothing in his life is as it seems.

Green dragons, hungry wolves, powerful sorcerers--suddenly Artie must battle them all as he wields Excalibur and embarks on a quest worthy of the Knights of the Round Table.
