==Plot==
Having pulled the sword from the stone, scrawny Arthur Pendragon has gone from washing dishes to sitting on the throne at Camelot Castle. What he doesn't know is that the scheming witch, Madam Mim, used her magic to help Arthur free the sword, believing the boy would be easy to control once he was made king.
When Arthur proves more capable than she imagined, Mim sends her foster daughter, Guinevere, to put Arthur back in his right place washing dishes.
But Arthur and Guinevere discover Mim's manipulations and forge an unlikely friendship. As they search for a way to outwit Mim and unite the kingdom, they realize that no one's fate is set in stone.

==Trivia==
*This is Mari Mancusi's first book in the Twisted Tales series.
*Madam Mim relocating the real sword in the stone to some kind of fancy theme park in the future of a land yet to be called Florida is a reference to the Sword in the Stone attraction at Disneyland and the fancy theme park in question is Magic Kingdom.
*On Page 248, Merlin uses the magic words 'Bibbidi bobbidi boo' to change from his hospital gown to his vacation clothes, claiming he learned it from a lovely fairy godmother while he was stuck in 1800s France.
*When Merlin transforms Arthur into a mouse, he uses the words 'Misculus, moosculus, Mickey Mouse', which is a reference to The Mickey Mouse Club.
*This is the first entry in the Twisted Tales series to contain locations, people and objects of the 21st century, not counting What Once Was Mine where the 21st century references were used in the framing device of the story, not the actual story. 
*This is the first of the Twisted Tales series to not have a US release date.
