A Pup in King Arthur's Court — Joanne Barkan

Camelot will never be the same!

Using a computer, Joe Talbot and David Barnes decide to publish a sports newsletter that will put the school's existing one to shame. New technology over old ideas? This reminds Wishbone of Mark Twain's hilarious classic tale, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Wishbone imagines himself as Hank Morgan, an inventor who is transported back in time to King Arthur's court at Camelot. As Morgan, Wishbone immediately decides to use his Yankee know-how to modernize the simple medieval society. With knights on bicycles, jousting with lassos, and a sixth-century stock market, he causes quite a stir in old England. Morgan also makes an enemy out of a powerful wizard named Merlin, who liked things just the way they were!
