Most American teenagers want a vacation in Italy, but the Bentarrini sisters have spent every summer of their lives with their parents, famed Etruscan scholars, among the romantic hills. In Book One of the River of Time series, Gabi and Lia are stuck among the rubble of medieval castles in rural Tuscany on yet another hot, boring, and dusty archeological site … until Gabi places her hand atop a handprint in an ancient tomb and finds herself in fourteenth-century Italy. And worse yet, in the middle of a fierce battle between knights of two opposing forces. And thus she comes to be rescued by the knight-prince Marcello Falassi, who takes her back to his father’s castle—a castle Gabi has seen in ruins in another life. Suddenly Gabi’s summer in Italy is much, much more interesting. But what do you do when your knight in shining armor lives, literally, in a different world?

What do you like about this book:
This is a delightful book full of adventure. I love the setting of Italy (I so want to visit again) and I love that is is set in medieval times. Who does love a good scene with knights on horses with swords? I am typically not much into time travel stories, but this one worked for me.
It is a good clean read free of foul language and sex scenes. As you might expect, there is some violence in the story. I recommend it for all age groups.
