Who doesn't love reborn legends?

I absolutely ADORE this book. Meg Cabot is entertaining, fun, and one of my favorite authors. In Avalon High, she tells the story of Ellie, a girl who has just moved to the Washington DC area. Her parents are professors who study the Medieval times, especially the legends of King Arthur. Through Ellie's unique knowledge of the subject, readers soon learn that many of the characters are reincarnations of those famous legends; Guinevere, Lancelot, King Arthur, Mordred, and more.

Ellie plays an important role in changing the course of the story of Arthur that we all know, even if she doesn't quite believe it. And Meg Cabot tells it all with surprising humor that keeps the reader engaged, even without prior knowledge of the legends of Arthur.

Of course, the story is a bit more complicated than that. But I can't tell you everything can I? Just pick up this book at your nearest Barnes and Noble or library, it's absolutely wonderful.
