Avalon High Coronation: The Merlin Prophecy (book review)

Avalon High Coronation: The Merlin Prophecy, by Meg Cabot, is the story of high school student Ellie and her boyfriend Will. Will just happens to be the reincarnation of King Arthur. Ellie herself might in fact be the reincarnation of the famous Lady of the Lake from Arthurian legend. And one of her teachers, Mr. Morton (or Merlin), is a long-lost member of the Order of the Bear, a group of scientists and historians dedicated to finding King Arthur's reincarnation. But now that they finally have, a new problem has come up...Will doesn't believe that he is King Arthur reincarnated. And in order for him to save the world from a horrible fate, he has to accept his destiny once and for all. What can Ellie do to convince him that the power in his hands is real?

I greatly enjoyed this book and would like to read the original novel someday soon. I would recommend this book to fans of Arthurian legend and fantasy manga.

I give this book 3.5 out of 5 stars.

This book is for the Manga Challenge.

Also, I wanted to thank you for your card! It was so sweet of you and your mom :D

Cool I like the idea of fantasy Arthurian manga as I love all three elements. Will definitely look out for this one.
