Meg Cabot - Author
A school mystery with mythic overtones, centred on Ellie’s growing suspicion that Avalon High’s familiar social world conceals an unfolding Arthurian drama. Its central appeal is the tension between everyday school life and legendary patterns.
To newcomer Ellie, Avalon High seems like a typical American high school, complete with jocks, nerds, cheerleaders, and even the obligatory senior class president, quarterback, and all-around good guy. But it doesn't take Ellie long to suspect that something weird is going on beneath the glossy surface of this tranquil hall of learning. As she pieces together the meaning of this unfolding drama, she begins to recognize some haunting Arthurian echoes, causing her to worry that she has become just a pawn in mythic history. A powerful novel by the author of The Princess Diaries.
