Lizzy's life changes drastically the morning of her 14th Halloween. That morning while reading the newspaper the words rearrange to become the obituary for her best friend. It is at that time she learns she is a "Death Catcher", one who is given notice of a person's death in the hopes it can be changed. Not only must she save the lives of those important to her, she also discovers that she is to be the Keeper of King Arthur's last descendant who will one day save the world.
This was a really interesting book. It is written as a letter for an extra credit assignment for her English class. It includes many facets of writing (i.e. symbolism, point of view, scene, etc.). It uses those facets to introduce the important points of the story. It was also a different take on the King Arthur story with the inclusion several minor characters in the legend. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will start recommending it to teens.
