  • Avalon High, I was starting to think, might not be so bad after all.

    Maybe it's not where Ellie wants to be, but if you have to start at a new school, Avalon High is typical enough: There's Lance, the jock. Jennifer, the cheerleader. And Will, senior class president, quarterback, and all-around good guy.

    But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be . . . not even, as Ellie is about to discover, herself. As a bizarre drama begins to unfold, Ellie has to wonder, what part does she play in all this? Do the coincidences she's piecing together really mean—as in King Arthur's court—that tragedy is fast approaching for her new friends?

    Ellie doesn't know if she can do anything to stop the coming trouble. But somehow, she knows she has to try.

    Summary: Avalon High seems like a typical high school, attended by typical students: There's Lance, the jock. Jennifer, the cheerleader. And Will, senior class president, quarterback, and all-around good guy.

    But not everybody at Avalon High is who they appear to be...not even, as new student Ellie is about to discover, herself. What part does she play in the drama that is unfolding? What if the bizarre chain of events and coincidences she has pieced together means--as with the court of King Arthur--tragedy is fast approaching Avalon High?

    Worst of all, what if there's nothing she can do about it?

    As most of my readers know, I am a HUGE Arthurian Legend buff. I read it all, or well as much as I can. I actually thought that Arthurian Legend set to a high school would be an excellent idea, looks like Ms. Cabot beat me to it. This book was pretty good. The plot kept an excellent pace and the explanation of the characters coming back was believable enough. The only thing that made me give this book 4/5 was because the Elaine went off on a lot of tangents randomly. I guess I did the same thing when I was a teen, but in a book it was distracting. Everything else was awesome, and I figured out who Elaine was early, I felt pretty smart for figuring it out.

    I really enjoyed this book! Avalon High is full of exciting drama and it was fun to read. Ellie has moved to a new town and meets and amazing guy named Will! She finds herself having a major crush on Will and can't stop thinking about him. Will has a beautiful girlfriend named Jennifer Gold. Mr. Marton, Ellie's teacher is in this group that study's midevil things and believes that Will is the next King Aurther! I would sugested reading this book to find out what happens to Will. I would say this book was a ten out off ten! It was a great book and I sugest reading it!! :)

    I picked this book up on a whim.... it was actually really good. I like books that are also educational like percy jackson from rick rordian. If you enjoy those books you will probably enjoy this one.

    Avalon High: Best Book Ever

    Avalon High is an amazingly written book. Cabot mixes the past with the present and makes the best out of it. I read this book when I was about 8 years old. It was exciting and enjoyable. I would definitely read it again!
