When your grandfather hails from medieval England and you've grown up on stories of knights and castles, it's hard to find a modern-day guy who measures up. To quote her granda, they're all dolts. Chloe Penelope Merriweather is ready to give up on fairy tales. She's spending the summer before college traipsing around England and visiting all the sights she's heard so much about. Though a tiny part of her wishes with all her heart that she too could travel through time, have a grand adventure, and meet her own knight in shining armor. And wouldn't it be fabulous if she could actually meet one of the infamous Merriweather women? But alas, fairy tales belong in books. So she'll settle for enjoying the trip of a lifetime and close the book once and for all on childish stories or will she?
