Review originally published on Quinn's Book Nook
I love Meg Cabot! I know I’ve said this before, but I felt like I needed to say it again. This is the first fantasy I’ve read by Meg Cabot, although this is by no means a high fantasy novel. I don’t think it was quite as light hearted as Teen Idol or All American Girl, but it still had that wonderful Meg Cabot humor.
One of the reasons I love Meg Cabot so much is that she creates these fabulous female protagonists. I love them so much! Ellie, the main character in Avalon High, was no different. She is smart, independent, and just so nice. Ellie is just an all around good person. And her comments about the middle ages at the beginning of the story were hilarious.
And Will was just dreamy. He was also a good person, and I could totally understand why Ellie liked him so much. He stands up for what is right, defending geeky boys from the jocks, and saving silly boys from drowning. Can we say hero?
I really enjoyed the whole idea about this book, too. I don’t really want to go into too much detail, for fear of spoiling anything, but it was really interesting.
My only complaint about this book is that it ended too soon! Although I am getting a little weary of series, I wish Avalon High was the first of a series. I guess there is some kind of graphic novel sequel, but I would prefer a novel.

We also know: if Meg Cabot writes it, I will love it. This book, about a teenager (originally) thought to be The Lady of Shallot, and the Order of the Bear, et cetera, was really kind of fun. Cabot definitely did her research here, and providing, at the head of each chapter, a stanza from "The Lady of Shallot" was an excellent introduction.

This is probably one of my favorite Meg Cabot books. I love the interwoven King Arthur plot, I just thought it was so cool. The connection between Ellie and Will is one of my favorites of all couples I've read. I thought this book flowed perfectly. I'm just disappointed that its sequels are graphic novels.
I thought this was a fantastic book. I read the whole thing in about a day and a half--I just couldn't put it down!
Meg Cabot has always been one of my favorite authors, and this book just constantly reminds me of why.
It was funny, romantic, and kept me engaged from the very first page.
I especially like how Ellie-the main character- was not portrayed as Guenievere, but as Elaine, an entirely different character. And of course, I loved Will as Arthur. :) But the only thing I didn't like were some of Ellie's reactions to the events in the book. (I'd assume it's just because I would have a slightly different take on the problem, and wouldn;t react the same way, but it was still a little bit bothersome.)
I'm glad there's a sequel, but I really wish it wasn;t a manga. Or that it will at least be publised as a regular sequel--one without pictures.

Fluffy, fluffy, fluffy, but so much fun! It was ridiculous and totally random, but I liked that it had fun themes and was just plain amusing.
