Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergren
Summary:  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 archaelogist 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.


Rating: 5 stars 

Genres: Young Adult, Time Travel, Romance, Historical, Adventure

Review: This book is FABULOUS. I loved it. There's not much else I can say. Gabi was a terrific MC, and all the other supporting characters were fabulous. I loved the close relationship that she has with her sister Lia and how they can relate to each other.  Marcello was totally hot. Go 13th Cent. Italian Guys! I'm certainly a fan of the well developedness (is that a word?!) of the characters. I loved each and every one. Even the evil ones. Of course, sometimes you just naturally like them anyway. 

The  Time-Travel in this Book was certainly one that won't be forgotten. The troubles and the historical "reality" that is addressed is well fitted into the plot, giving you a good idea of the era, time, what it was like, and how much harder it would be to live there than now in the 21st century. You will not want to miss Cascade, and Torrent, books 2 & 3 is this riveting tale. Highly Recommended for Teens ages 13+
