Ellie Harrison moves with her father, a professor of medieval literature, to the small town of Avalon, where she attends Avalon High. She falls for Will Wagner, the school's golden boy, and notices odd coincidences: a student named Lance, a girl named Jennifer, a boy named Mordred who gives her bad vibes. Meg Cabot builds a light mystery on the idea that the school is replaying the legend of King Arthur, and that Ellie may have a special role in preventing a tragic ending.
Teen readers who like romantic comedy with a bit of legend will find an easy, funny story. It is for fans of Arthurian tales who enjoy seeing how they might fit into a modern high school.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
