What do you do when your knight in shining armor lives, literally, in a different world?
Most American teenagers want a vacation in Italy, but the Betarrini sisters have spent every summer of their lives among the romantic hills with their archaeologist parents. Stuck among the rubble of the medieval castles in rural Tuscany, on yet another hot, dusty archaeological site, Gabi and Lia are bored out of their minds...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.
Suddenly Gabi's summer in Italy is much, much more interesting.

For a moment I am going to imagine myself in Harry’s place during his fourth year at Hogwarts. It would be a terrible disaster! Let me share with you just some of the ways I would likely have died during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
1. The Quidditch World Cup
This could actually probably be two ways since there are at least two things here to kill me. The first would be the height of the top box. If you know me, you know I definitely don’t enjoy heights so that would have been… interesting. Then the Death Eaters would probably have gotten me. I don’t exactly run, ever. Yep, I would have been pretty easy to catch and then that would not have been pretty.
