Arthur Penhaligon is a skateboarder (usually). He's also a Guardian, knighted by Excalibur. It’s been a year since Arthur and his friends first met a shape-shifting cat and defeated a murderous rival intent on stealing Arthur’s birth-right. But now, far below the Cornish hills, the deep magic is stirring again - summoning Arthur’s enemies to the contest for Cornwall’s crown. It’s time to get back to the challenges of time-travel and the undeniable reality of myths and legends. On a Cornish path a tiny, green-stone dragon stretches a claw. In a churchyard a carved angel tests his wings. And at sea an emerald-encrusted pocket watch chimes once… and slips through time. Camelot is calling; Excalibur is waiting… and an epic world of magic, mystery and danger beckons. A thrilling mystery and fantasy book with action & adventure.

A SNAPSHOT INTO ROSIE’S LIFEWhen I was about 10 -14 years old, I loved reading action & adventure stories and mysteries filled with magic. I used to haunt our local library, borrowing anything with a vaguely magical theme. It had to be well-written with a gripping story, action-filled and a page-turner. (My all-time favourite author? C.S.Lewis.) So the seeds were sown. One day I’d write books for 10 – 14 year olds too!The next question: So is this book for boys or girls? The answer: For both! Boys and girls between the ages of 10-14, teens and preteens, have read and loved it; although lots of adults are enjoying it too. If you love a fast-paced fantasy, then THE TIME SMUGGLERS, #2 THE CAMELOT INHERITANCE series could be right for you. I'd be delighted to know what you think of it, so do leave a review on here if you liked it.

I liked this book and its numerous sneaky charms. The book seems to be for early middle graders; I'm thinking 3rd or 4th grade. It doesn't tell the complete Arthur story, but it incorporates elements of Arthur and related and similar British legends and traditions. And that's all good.There are some stunningly good Arthur and Welsh/Irish/Cornish legend series for younger readers. I'm thinking of Susan Cooper's "Dark is Rising" sequence,The Dark Is Rising Sequence: Over Sea, Under Stone; The Dark Is Rising; Greenwitch; The Grey King; Silver on the Tree, and Jenny Nimmo's "Magician Trilogy",The Snow Spider (Magician Trilogy #1). Cooper's book really follows the Arthur story and is written with tremendous style and feeling. Nimmo references less well known episodes from that body of myth and legend and repositions them in a modern setting that captures the feel and texture and mood of the old stories. But, those works and others like them can be demanding and, certainly, confusing for a young reader. The old stories can be incomplete and ambiguous and that confusion and lack of a clear linear plot can be tough going for younger readers.There aren't many books that take the Arthur elements and put them together in a way that is exciting, suggestive of the old school, but still easy enough to follow and understand. That's where this book is its strongest, and that's why it seems fair to call it an introduction to Arthur-style storytelling.
I received a copy from the author in return for an honest review.This is the second book in The Camelot Inheritance Series for middle grade children that takes the myths and legends of Arthur (that's King Arthur to you!) and gives it a modern twist. I loved it!Arthur Penhaligon is a fantastic character. He is a young man with an amazing destiny - he is a Guardian of Cornwall. I really liked this character when I first met him in The Golden Sword. He has done a bit of growing up over the year, but there is still danger lurking, and Arthur and his friends, Nick, Gawain and Tamar, are in for another adventure.This is a fantastic adventure series set in Cornwall, England. I have been eagerly waiting for this story, because I wanted to know what the intrepid trio had been up to. This tale is told from several different points of view, which I found most interesting, and kept me hooked from the first page! I was swept back into the lives of Arthur, Nick and Tamar, as well as their new friend Gawain. There are a few other characters that make another appearance. Mainly the Watcher's and the Writer. These are enigmatic characters that bring their own kind of intrigue to the tale. Why are they watching? Why are they recording events? These questions and more floated round my head, but that being said, I found them rather fun too! Their antics (especially the Watchers') made me giggle in places. I suppose time travel can cause it's own issues! There are several twists and turns that surprised me, and I just love Nick's dragon! Where can I get one?This story is a mix of adventure, myth and magic that will keep younger readers completely hooked!Rosie Morgan is a debut author who has written an exciting adventure series for children. I am becoming a huge fan!
The Time Smugglers is the second book in the Camelot Inheritance series. It is written and illustrated by Rosie Morgan. It is loosely based on the King Arthur stories from Cornwall, UK. Rosie lives here with her husband and two cats. She was a teacher and is still teaching through her books. This book like book 1 is an excellent book. It was hard to put it down when it was time for bed. I will recommend both books to my middle school teacher friends and librarian. All students should have a chance to read this book.Arthur, Nick, Tamar, and Gawain are once again united in a story of good vs evil. They have been given the honor and privilege of being the Guardians of Cornwall. It is up to them to keep the dark from taking over. They are to help the memories of Cornwall’s past live on. They come into conflict with Lady Clehy (ice), Crow man, Skeleton man, an albino with an albino dog, and other evil creatures. They have help from Zephaniah, Argo, Michael, Bedivere, and Lancelot as well as from a green stone dragon, a stone angel, and Lightning, now Arthur’s dog.Tamar is kidnapped in an attempt to separate the Guardians. She is placed in the hold of a ship that sails the bay with no wind. In the hold of the ship, Tamar meets a prisoner named Hairy Face and his dog. He shows her a pocket watch that he keeps hidden in his beard. He gives it to her and tells her she is the new Timekeeper. As she watches, her name is inscribed on it as if by magic. Soon Gawain, also kidnapped, is thrown into the hold. Hairy Face breaks his fall so he is not further hurt. However, he is badly hurt. Tamar uses the pocket watch to help him. How will they get out so they can help Arthur?
