The first book in the Camelot Code series, The Once and Future Geek , mixed time travel between the medieval world of King Arthur and our own, and it is a very entertaining book. The second book in the series, Geeks and Holy Grail (Hyperion, October 2019), is also entertaining (though not quite as funny; King Arthur as a modern day high school student is hard to beat....).

This book has a pretty good start. Ellie is a girl that seems to make everyone she touches sick. She has no friends and she's fine with that. Then a new kid, Nate, comes. They becomes friends, as you might have guessed. Then Nate tells Ellie that there are more people like her and that she actually works with life. He works with death which is why he knows about this. Everything is going well until things happen with Nate's family -- his father worked in a secret organization of these special people. Then the end comes and is rather silly.
