Avalon High by Meg Cabot


I really needed this fluffy novel. Ellie (Elaine) had to go to Avalon High School this year because her two medieval professor parents are on sabbatical. She falls in love with Will, even though he has a girlfriend. Will's best friend Lance is having an affair with Jennifer, Will's girlfriend. Does this plot sound familiar? What if I told you that Will's first name is Arthur? That's right. This novel is a twist on Arthurian legend and really works. How does Ellie fit in? In the legend, she commits suicide because Lancelot doesn't love her. But Ellie can't stand Lance. So the story isn't going the way it's supposed to. And Mr. Morton, Ellie's English teacher, knows it. And don't forget about Marco, Will's evil step-brother.
