Avalon High

Reader reviewed by Ashley

Elaine's family moves and she goes to school at Avalon High. But at Avalon High, everyone is not who they appear to be. Things start getting strange when the Arthurian legend seems to be repeating itself. Elaine refuses to believe what Mr. Morton tells her, but it soon becomes clear that he's not crazy. King Arthur really is coming back.

This book was a lot better than I though it was going to be, because I was expecting cheesy. Really cheesy, actually. But the direction Meg Cabot took with it really kept me interested. I didn't want to put it down until I finished it.

Avalon High is mostly centered around romance.The characters Ellie and Will have a really good connection but Will has a girlfriend named Jennifer, who is cheating on Will with his best friend Lance. This can be confusing at first but it is the same thing that happened with King Arthur.Also Will's brother wants to kill him.The main thing in this story is that everyone in the school are the desendants of king Arthur.
 This book was intresting but the plot was really hard to understand.the romances were really intresting. although jennifer was doing something bad you still like her.The book was overall okay.

Avalon High was definitely action packed! Meg Cabot yet again wrote a fabulous book perfect for teens/tweens! I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the next 2 in the series.

You will be indulged in the story as the main character is yet again moved to a new area with her family and finds out her true fate. Read the story to find out more!


I hope you enjoy!

I liked this book because it was funny and serious at the same time. I thought at first that it would be the typical story of the new girl at school being asked out by the hottest guy ever and going to some dance and making out like crazy, but nooo...
Imagine being the new kid AND everyone thinking that you're some reincarnation of a crazy lady that kills herself for love and trying to prove that you're more than that. This book was so unique and interesting that i recommended it for all my friends. The love it!

I loved this book, I don't remember how many times I have read it. Elle Harrison, the new girl in Annapolis learns a bizarre secret that there in Annapolis is believed to be the reincarnation of King Arthur. Who would believe that? Yet when her teacher Mr. M turns out to be a member of the Order of the bear meant to protect King Arthur is true, everyone assumes that she is the reincarnation of the Lady of Shallot, a useless lady who commits suicide, yet when she turns out to be the Lady of the Lake, a more powerful person, A. William Wagner, or better known as the reicarnation of King Arthur, still has a fighting chance and this time won't succumb to the evils of darkness.

This book is about how kings, queens, princes, and princesses come to life in a modern day story. It is about a new girl in school and how she meets this boy and her parents are study the mid evil times. She ends up getting tied in to what really happend back then and has to save the day!

It is a really good book. It might be scary for kids under 10 but other wise you should read it! It was one of those books which you could not put down. I really think this is her best book yet. I hope she makes another one like this.

Elaine is new at her school. One day she meets a guy names Will who is really hot while she is on a run and falls for him. Turns out he already has a boyfriend, but there is much more to the story then this. Turns out she is living a real life Camelot story. She must fit the pieces together before things go crazy.
I must say i have read every Meg Cabot book like ever. She can do no more. This book is not a moving tale that will make you cry but it is fun to read and will make you laugh, and what more could you want from a book.

This book is absolutely wonderful.

Well, when I was looking for a book, the two genres I had in mind where chick flick and fantasy. What do you know, when I found Avalon High, by Meg Cabot, I got exactly what I wanted.

What really attracted me to the book was a sentence that goes something like this: "My dad has never been a nature person. He can hardly stand my cat, Tig. Which of course means Tig is crazy about him."

And for anyone who has ever had a cat, you know how much like a cat that is.

The first 180 pages in the book are very lovey-dovey. Elaine Harrison is in love with a boy named A. William Wagner, but he already has a girlfriend. Kind of a Romeo and Juliet story, I guess you could say. Elaine falls love with the wrong guy.

But then, after that, a strange fantasy takes place. Mr. Morton, a teacher, is in the Order of the Bear, which is a group of people who belive that one day KIng Arthur will be reincarnated. Elaine finds her self winding into a weird and unusual situation. What role will she play in this?

Read the book to find out!!!

P.S.
Right now I am reading the first book in the Princess Diaries, series, also by Meg Cabot. I hope it will be just as great!
