A Well-Timed Enchantment - Paperback

by Vivian Vande Velde (Author)

It's bad enough that Deanna has to waste her summer in France and her only friend is a mangy black cat, but now she's staring hopelessly into a well, trying to figure out what in the world to wish for.

Before she can make a wish, the cat scratches her, her watch falls into the well, and then . . . so has she! Except that now she's in medieval France, the cat is a handsome young man, and her watch has the power to completely change history.

Maybe a quiet summer would have been nice?

• Magical Transformation: Her mangy cat Oliver is suddenly a very literal-minded boy who knows nothing about fairy tales, raw fish, or why he shouldn't just stalk things in the forest.
• A Hilarious Time-Travel Adventure: One Mickey Mouse watch has fallen into medieval France, and if Deanna can't get it back from a quirky wizard and his jousting nephews, her entire future could be erased.
• Classic Fish Out of Water Comedy: She knows about pool parties and roller-skating, not castle etiquette or how to fend off a suitor who thinks serenading her is a good idea.
• A Reluctant Heroine: Deanna never asked to save the world. She just wanted her watch back and maybe to not spend her summer in France. Now she has to deal with both.
