The school bell clangs and guppies start swarming out the door like a virus. Faces. Eyes. Elbows. I put on my star-shaped sunglasses and stand up.

    I have no idea what a "panopticon" is! Guess I'll have to look it up. I'm definitely curious about those guppies and the star-shaped sunglasses too. Sounds like a quirky book.

The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court.
