Description
Forget ponies, Corvettes, and jewelry. All Andrea Roth wants for her sixteenth birthday is to go outside. Her parents deny her, and deep down, she can't blame them. Strange things happen when she goes outside. Then Dillon Archer moves in next door, and life gets even stranger. Not only does he share Andrea's birthday down to the second, he sees things, too. Like the flashes of light that transform their neighborhood from a suburb into a medieval kingdom, and baseball players shifting into armored knights wielding swords instead of Louisville Sluggers as they kneel before Andrea and Dillon, proclaiming one of them a king. When Andrea's parents send her to Haven High School for her sophomore year, she discovers more questions than answers. Why do the school nurse and baseball coach stare at Andrea as if they know her? Did the four new boys at school really turn into serpent-lion monsters and stalk her through the woods? And why can't anyone pull Haven High's prized baseball bat from its commemorative pedestal-a bat Andrea and Dillon remember as a sword that one of them pulled from a stone a thousand years ago?
