The Clone of Camelot

Kids’ Stories Book

By: Ayokunle Mathew Akinbi

Narrated by: Eleesha Lewis

Arlo isn't just new to Sunnybrook Elementary—he’s new to the entire century! Created in a secret lab, he is the clone of the legendary King Arthur, made to bring a little old-school courage to the modern world. He thinks his biggest challenge will be figuring out cafeteria food, but that all changes when he effortlessly pulls a rusty sword from a concrete block in the schoolyard, a feat no one else could manage.

Suddenly, Arlo is on a quest from Merlin himself (who now sends cryptic emails full of emojis) to assemble a new Knights of the Round Table. His knights don't wear shining armor; they're his classmates, a daring skateboarder, a meticulous planner, a quiet artist, and a gentle soul who befriends the school mascot.

Together, they must face down a modern-day Morgana Le Fay, a mischievous girl named Penelope whose weapons of choice are glitter bombs and epic pranks. From battling a "dragon" in the school boiler room to seeking wisdom from the "Lady of the Lake" at the local duck pond, Arlo and his friends must prove that heroism isn't about the past. It’s about facing your fears, standing by your friends, and being brave enough to be a legend in your own time.
