I enjoy the plot twists and overall characterizations. "I find this to be a great modern twist on the King Arthur story. 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? not even, as new student Ellie is about to discover, herself. But not everybody at Avalon High is who they appear to be. And Will, senior class president, quarterback, and all-around good guy. Avalon High seems like a typical high school, attended by typical students: There’s Lance, the jock. 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. But it was a Hey that made my heart flop over inside my chest. “Hey,” he said, smiling, not just with his lips, but with his blue eyes, too. 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. 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.
