Pendragon Books by D. J. MacHale

I've always seen these books at the library and thought, "I'm not in the mood for another retelling of King Arthur". I thought this since Uther Pendragon is Arthur's father.

Anyway. These books are NOT about King Arthur. They actually remind me of Stargate. It is a story about a 14 year old boy named Bobby Pendragon, who discovers he is a Traveler. He travels to these different worlds via wormholes and it is a fight between good and evil. Some of the cultures are primative and some are quite technologically advanced. All in all, they are fun. There are 10 books in the series and I'm on the sixth one right now. The last book is due to be released in May 2009. The first one is not as strong as later ones in the series. They get progressively better.

Okay. So I've read books 1-9 and I love them. They are good. Well, actually I got frustrated with book 9 because the evil villains are SO EVIL! Anyway. I recommend them.
