Synopsis

I recognized him at once–not just because he was so tall, and there aren’t a lot of guys who are taller than me, but also because he had such a distinctive face. Not handsome, really. But attractive. And nice. And strong-looking.
The weirdest part was, he seemed to recognize me, too, even though he could only have seen me for, like, five seconds that day in the park.
“Hey,” he said, smiling, not just with his lips, but with his blue eyes, too.
Just Hey. That’s all. Hey.
But it was a Hey that made my heart flop over inside my chest.

Who is Will Wagner, and how is it that Ellie, the new girl at Avalon High, feels as if she’s known him all her life, when she’s only just met him?
A long-ago legend comes to new life in this tale of a love triangle, a medieval sword, and a totally awesome pool raft.
Avalon High seems like a typical high school, attended by typical students: There’s Lance, the jock. Jennifer, the cheerleader. And Will, senior class president, quarterback, and all-around good guy.
But not everybody at Avalon High is who they appear to be . . . not even, as new student Ellie is about to discover, herself. What part does she play in the drama that is unfolding? What if the bizarre chain of events and coincidences she has pieced together means–as with the court of King Arthur–tragedy is fast approaching Avalon High?
Worst of all, what if there’s nothing she can do about it?

Goodreads review by Cyndi on June 11, 2018

I am a fan of Meg Cabot so it pains me to admit I didn’t like this story very much. Most of the book is spent rehashing a prior story which I might have enjoyed a bit more if I had read it. Anyway, the rest of the book is spent setting up the story for the next book. 🤷🏼‍♀️ So, I’m not saying I won’t......more

Goodreads review by Namratha on August 17, 2020

Avalon High was a good book. Cabot’s tale of a new girl fitting in had a fresh supernatural twist weaved in. It was funny, intriguing and had all the makings of a fantastic sequel. But then Cabot had to go Manga…which was not necessarily a bad thing. While being quite a heathen where Manga is c......more

Goodreads review by Whitney on August 05, 2021

I've been trying to ease my way into Manga, hoping to get access to yet another pool of stories. So far, one of my biggest "blocks" has been the unfamiliar art styles, so I was hoping to ease my way in with what's essentially a comic book done manga-style. American author, American story, etc. Baby......more

Goodreads review by Abby on July 23, 2007

Okay, I haven't read Avalon High... and... I guess maybe you kind of need to in order to fully appreciate this book. It gives a brief overview of the premise in the first chapter - at Avalon High, many of the students are possibly reincarnations of Arthurian characters. Now, it's theorized that in o......more

A Tokyopop book I picked up out of boredom. Nice art and a decent story. Interesting to say the least.......more
