How many avalon high books are there

Or choice? September 24, Overall rating. Writing Style. Id heard so much talk about Avalon High that I figured it was high time I read it. Besides, told in Cabots patented plucky-quirky-girl-voice, you know its going to be fun and happily, Ellie isnt as full of self-doubt as some other Cabot heroines. Ellie who was named by her Medievalist parents after Lady Elaine, aka The Lady of Shalott, aka the chick who went to a watery death when Lancelot picked Guinevere over her is dragged off to live in Annapolis while her parents take a sabbatical her mother to write a book on The Lady of Shalott and her father to write a book on a rusty old sword.

At first, the only saving grace is that their temporary home has a pool. Ellies new alma mater is Avalon High and one particular guy catches her eye right away. To Ellies surprise, she also seems to have somewhat caught his, even though Will thats the heartthrobs name already has a perky blonde girlfriend named Jenny.

Then theres Mr. Morton, the English teacher, who seems determined to throw Ellie and Lance together. Why would a teacher even care about the love lives of his students?

And whats the deal with Marco, Wills stepbrother? Ellie keeps getting dragged into the middle of things, even though Mr. Morton and Marco keep dismissing her by telling her that her part in things makes no difference anymore.

Lance is Lancelot, the fellow who is doomed to betray his best friend by falling in love with Guinevere aka Jenny. And Marco? Historically, evil half-brother Mordred caused the downfall of Arthur. The group Mr. Morton belongs to, The Order of the Bear, has been watching out for the return of Arthur over all these years. If Will succeeds and lives on, he could bring in a new golden age of peace. I absolutely love the twist that occurs with Ellies character and Im not going to give it away here since you need to discover it for yourself.

There are lots of clues in the book, so make sure you pay attention as you read because it is Ellies true nature and not the nature of her namesake that will save the day in the end. Will is also a great character. Hes almost too good to be true, but hey, he is King Arthur, after all. Though Jenny and Lance are the least developed characters, theyre also interesting in their own right and not always exactly what you would expect.

Even Marco isnt totally evil much like Mordred ; hes just got a lot of baggage. Recommended for readers aged 12 and up. Theres enough romance to keep any girl happy and enough courtly intrigue to keep just about anyone turning the pages.

Shoot, if I hadnt already promised this one to my niece she begged , Id be keeping it for myself. Kimberly Pauley Top 10 Reviewer reviews. Report this review Comments 0 Was this review helpful?

Good Points. Anna's Bookshelf Top Reviewer 18 reviews. Avalon High. October 24, Updated: April 23, A couple years ago a movie came out on Disney Channel called Avalon High.

While looking for a good book to read to extract some info from, I came across a book called Avalon High, by the well-known author of the Princess Diaries series, Meg Cabot. After reading the book in its entirety, I decided to finally watch the movie. The next time it played on television, I made sure I was parked on the couch right in front of it with the controller in hand.

After seeing the film, I noticed how much of the book was changed. The entire movie was completely different from the book! The only thing that was the same about them, was the fact that they both had the same name! I would suggest to those who watched the movie to read the book, because it is a great, fast and easy to read. Do yourself a favor. But, it does allow the reader to warm up to the main character, Elaine, and her strange ways.

The exciting conclusion to Meg Cabot's magical Arthurian manga! Ellie has only one day left to get her boyfriend Will to truly believe he's the reincarnation of King Arthur, or the world will plunge into eternal darkness. But Will refuses to belie Avalon High — Meg Cabot. Length: 4 Books. January September Series List in Order. The novel was followed by a three-volume manga series, titled Avalon High: Coronation. It premiered on November 12, with an average 3. Meg Cabot Wiki Explore.
