A review by natasha_saidikowski
Avalon High by Meg Cabot

4.0

I loved this book as a teen. Now that I’m almost 30, I can see the cracks in the plot devices, the silliness of some of the dialogue, and the cringe-worthy high school drama. But this book is still a very fun YA romp, and I’m a sucker for anything Arthurian. I like Ellie as a character - she’s a very classic teenager, but she has a distinct personality and a strong backbone. She’s an easy protagonist to get behind. Part of me wishes Lance and Jennifer were more interesting or better-developed. But again, this is a YA novel aimed at a teen audience. And as that, it works very well.
