" 'Tis the fairy Lady of Shalott"

You'll have to guess what's a coincidence and what isn't in Avalon High by Meg Cabot. Ellie's in a new high school because she's moved yet again - her parents are professors of medieval history, and they're both taking sabbaticals (temporary leaves from their jobs) in Annapolis. Ellie has heard about the legend of King Arthur all her life, and she's even named after one of the legend's characters, Lady Elaine of Astolat, aka the Lady of Shalott. Maybe the name of her new school is getting to her (Avalon is a place in the legend), but it seems pretty spooky the way her life, as well as those of the perfect guy Will, his friend Lance, golden girl Jennifer, and Will's creepy stepbrother Marco mirror the lives of Elaine, King Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, and Mordred. Throw in romance, lies, betrayals, and a teacher who thinks they've all been reincarnated, and you'll have a good story...that leaves you wondering!
