How many years ago did you read this book? Was it geared towards adults, teens, or children?Remember anything about the cover?
I read this book at least over five years ago. It probably would have been geared towards teen audiences.I remember absolutely nothing from the cover.
There are tons of Arthurian legend books out there. Sometimes it helps to browse through the Listopia lists to see if any look familiar. Here are a few that might help:

Hmmm, I keep running into this book while searching The Book of Mordred
. Some things fit. The author's name is Vivian (in case you were maybe mixing up author/character names)
@Laina - I'm not entirely sure I'd consider it a retelling of an Arthurian legend, but I'll definitely check out the links! Thanks a lot!@Tab - Definitely not that one, the book as I remember it was strictly inside the adventure/fantasy category, no romance or any special focus on the characters. But thanks anyway!
Sandra, do you remember if the girl was transported to King Arthur times? Or, was the book set in the past the whole time?

Main characters:

-Young girl commoner (shepherd?), meets King Arthur (at a well?), agrees to help him (dreams of riding an elephant through town?)

-Vivian, witch, villain (appears as giant monster?)
-(King Olaf?)
Plot:
-Young girl helps Arthur (and Merlin?)
-They enter a creepy forest
-"Resurrection" of Knights
-(Meeting with Elves?)
-Meeting with dwarves (fall into a cave)
-Young girl becomes a knight (magical armor/sword), has to retrieve key from a giant (blind?) worm in (dwarven?) caves
-Fight against the undead (King Olaf's/Vivian's army?)
-Something about a castle (King Olaf's/Vivian's)
-Return home
That's as far as I remember. There might have been something with trolls, giant talking rocks, a swamp (there definitely was a swamp scene) and I'm pretty sure the young girl's armor glowed like a rainbow or something. It might have been in Spanish, but I'm guessing it's a translated work. Or maybe not.
