I could not put these books down and I am trying to get everyone I know to read them. This is a sci fi book, that moves between space and time in the past, present and future. Bobby Pengragon is passed on the task of being a traveler by his Uncle Press. Along his travels he has to battle his enemy Saint Dane, meet the other travelers and find out the truth about himself. Very good!! They really need to pick these up as movies, they could be as big as Harry Potter, but I don't hear much about them. Read them, you'll them!!

I started reading this series when i was in the 8th grade and continued reading them. Ive read all of the original Pendragon books but i havent read any of the newer ones. I believe theyre called the travelers books or something like that but i will get to them.

This was a great series, even if I'm not done with yet, you really don't know what's going to happen next, but it's fun to see who Saint Dane is hiding as this time.
