Our view
“Avalon High” has fun replaying Arthurian legend in a modern high school, and the fun is catching. Meg Cabot gives the new girl, Ellie, medievalist parents and classmates whose names keep echoing Camelot, and lets the legend show through everyday school life. The plot moves quickly and the characters grow along the way. Some readers find it never quite takes hold of them; it is pitched at ages twelve and up.
