Meg Cabot was born on February 1, 1967, during the Chinese astrological year of the Fire Horse, a notoriously unlucky sign. Fortunately she grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, where few people were aware of the stigma of being a fire horse -- at least until Meg became a teenager, when she flunked freshman Algebra twice, then decided to cut her own bangs. After six years as an undergrad at Indiana University, Meg moved to New York City (in the middle of a sanitation worker strike) to pursue a career as an illustrator, at which she failed miserably, forcing her to turn to her favorite hobby--writing novels--for emotional succor. She worked various jobs to pay the rent, including a decade-long stint as the assistant manager of a 700 bed freshmen dormitory at NYU, a position she still occasionally misses.
She is now the author of nearly fifty books for both adults and teens, selling fifteen million copies worldwide, many of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers, most notably The Princess Diaries series, which is currently being published in over 38 countries, and was made into two hit movies by Disney. In addition, Meg wrote the Mediator and 1-800-Where-R-You? series (on which the television series, Missing, was based), two All-American Girl books, Teen Idol, Avalon High, How to Be Popular, Pants on Fire, Jinx, a series of novels written entirely in email format (Boy Next Door, Boy Meets Girl, and Every Boy's Got One), a mystery series (Size 12 Is Not Fat/ Size 14 Is Not Fat Either/Big Boned), and a chick-lit series called Queen of Babble.
Meg is now writing a new children's series called Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls. Her new paranormal series, Abandon, debuts in Summer of 2011.
Meg currently divides her time between Key West, Indiana, and New York City with a primary cat (one-eyed Henrietta), various back-up cats, and her husband, who doesn't know he married a fire horse. Please don't tell him.

I loved Avalon High, but the continuing manga series has been nothing but a diappointment. There's no plot or character development at all. The one good thing I can say is that at least the illustrator (Jinky Coronado) is getting her work out there, as these books only really exist to showcase her talent.

Actually... This one was alright!
It was feel good. I knew it was going well at the start when Ellie finally dropped the weepy-act, stood up to Morgan, stopped being annoyingly naive and realised her mistakes, and actually told Will what she was feeling!!!
And the plot centred around Morgan/Marco doing stupid things, rather than the main character! Phew!
So it became fun again. I can see the parallels with the film here now. I must admit, at the start I really didn't understand why Ellie was convinced that getting Will's dad to come to dinner/talk to him would make him believe he was King Arthur... But eh, she turned out to be right, in a way. Although I didn't like that Ellie had an off-story conversation with Will's mother to bring his dad to the game, that was way too convenient and ruined that it came from the dinner, but I guess maybe the Lady of the Lake still needed to intervene... So, I kinda get where it was all going to now!!
And I finally finished this series which I've been meaning to do since I was like 14 😄

Avalon High as a manga is a fresh take to Meg Cabot’s usual writing style. I’ve searched high and low for these books as they are the only ones missing from my Meg Cabot book collection and I’m glad I found them.
The ending is kind of anticlimactic but in my heart, Will Wagner is King Arthur and Ellie Harrison is the Lady of the Lake

Since the whole trilogy should really just be one book, this will serve as a review for the whole story. There's nothing I really disliked about this story, but there's nothing really to like because pretty much nothing happens. There's a lot of recapping and drama and angst without anything actually happening. Good art, but no story.

*Elle thinks she sees Morgan-who taunts her about her lack of a chance to be homecoming queen- but it turns out to be another nightmare. But then she sees prove that it might not have only been a nightmare.
*There’s more taunting and threats from Morgan in school about the contest and telling Will about her making out with his brother but Elle shrugs it off and says tell him whatever you want. He won’t believe you. He trusts me.
*There’s more pressure from Mr. Morton but Elle tells him to be at the game tonight. She thinks something will happen then.
*Morgan tries a dirty tactic. She publicly announces to everyone she saw Elle trying to make out with Marco at the park and calls her a skank. But Will tells her she was making out with Marco that morning in his car. She she’s either very forgiving or very stupid. Then he says now whose the skank.
*For the first half of the game, Will is distracted but his dad shows up to the game and they slowly catch up with the Barbarians. There’s flashs of another battle going on with Will as King Arthur. They win the game 27-24.
*Mr. Wagner congratulates him on his game, tells him they need to have a serious talk about the future, and invites him to come home (if that’s what he wants). Will says he’ll think on it.
*Jennifer is first runner up and Elle wins Homecoming Queen. Marco pulls the fire alarm and sets off the sprinklers.
*Will catches Marco sneaking in and stealing the tiara. He kicks his behind and security comes in and escorts Marco out for being on school grounds and pulling the fire alarm.
*During the Spotlight dance, Will’s believe kicks in
My Thoughts:
This was the hardest one to find. The other two were on Internet Archive. I had to spend 10.00. I could have just left it at the other two but I had to find out if Will would believe in time. It really didn’t look like it and I’m not even clear what finally did it. It didn’t really make sense that all of a sudden he believed just because Ellie believed when all through out this story he thought the idea was ridiculous. Still, this wasn’t all that bad for follow up graphic novels. The story got a little repetitious from time to time but it kept me wanting to know what happened until the last book. It actually got me to buy the last book. The illustrations were better than I’ve seen in a lot of illustrated adaptations of the story. I understood what was going on in the panels most of the time. The only time it got foggy was when it switched to Ellie’s dreams. And the illustrations themselves were very good. From reading “Avalon High” I didn’t picture Ellie as being that pretty. But these 3 novels were easy to get through and not bad reads.

a very disappointing conclusion to a series (i’m counting the novel not the graphic novel as the beginning) that i didn’t mind too much at the start.
first of all the stakes here feel… weird
like she’s got to make her boyfriend beleive he’s the reincarnation of Arthur the world depends on it but also somehow the homecoming queen plot seem to put her into just as much danger and take as much plot space????? why are those two things on any similar level stakes wise
the villains Marco, and Morgana are so one dimensional that it’s laughable. Why is Marco evil? Because he was told he was, and he’s the reincarnation of the bad guy duh!
and Morgana? well she’s just some popular girl, who’s mean of course! but not worthy of a full reveal of her identity as Morgana or Morgause or even being let into the know, see she’s too vapid for that.
Ellie went from being a little bit of a not like other girls type but not the worst to being the most whiny, annoying, spineless character ever. Thing is i wouldn’t hold her being that way against her if that’s who her character was at any other point in the first book??? But in the first book she’s quite plucky, and strong!
Will I wanted so badly to like but every book his personality became more, and more like that of cardboard (if he even had a personality to begin with).
and lastly my final grievance is how did the ending even work? it made no sense to me how Ellie winning homecoming was enough to convince Will he’s Arthur? and also the fate of the world depending then on her winning homecoming???? i just found it all ridiculous.

I don’t have many thoughts about this one for some reason. I enjoyed it. I wish it & the other two were longer but I get that this part of the series are graphic novels so maybe they shouldn’t have been but I did enjoy these more than the actual novel/book. I do wish that she had given more, I guess story wise. I don’t know what his dad supporting him had to do with him believing that he’s King Arthur or the dad coming to his game & supporting him considering the last time we saw him was questionable b/c of the big switch. Maybe each book should have been longer &/or there should have been more books. Also Ellie being so popular so fast in just like two months & Will believing that he’s King Arthur just b/c Ellie is homecoming Queen, it’s all just like idk if it really makes sense but okay. I just wish there was more, to like make everything make sense or more to make the storyline fit better. Disappointed that Morgan was never revealed as Morgause. I also didn’t understand the part about Marco trying to steal the crown b/c even if he did steal it Ellie still would have won, she still would have been Queen even without the crown. Overall I enjoyed all three graphic novels, I think I enjoyed the other two more than the third one for some reason.

I couldn’t wait to find the second one so I just read this one but I didn’t REALIZE it was the last one?? oops.
So this series is quite simple and fast paced with not much fluff of plot in between the simple skeleton of the Avalon High story. Now let’s be clear, that is a great story and has so much room to be relatable and awe-worthy but also hilarious with scenes and parallels between the epic medieval world and American high school when timed right.
Actually that’s something I have noticed; that I like some of its cinematic aspects, largely given due to the visual component, like pacing, “editing” and punch lines.
So I don’t think there’s really enough here to get attached to this specific telling of the story, but it is good enough to make me want to watch the almighty: Avalon High (2010) by Disney Channel.

A decent conclusion that manages to feel satisfactory, even if it's a bit of a mess. Heck, the whole series is a mess, the book more so than the manga volumes. There was potential to continue, but I'm glad there are no more instalments. It's not a bad concept... it's just that the execution is a little wanting.
June 29, 2021
I think the ending could have been a little more climactic. In both this and Avalon High the novel I feel like the ending just got blown through after so much buildup.
I will never say no to extra Avalon High content though.

This is the conclusion of the Avalon High book. This time Will needs to accept who he is and his dynasty or the world will end. This happens the night of Homecoming. Marco gets out of the mental hospital and is trying to convince Ellie he means no harm. Will is still living with Ellie and her family. I enjoyed these novels to continue the story. I was a little disappointed with how the girls were drawn in this but other than that I loved the story.

It's finally arrived...the final part of the AVALON HIGH CORONATION trilogy. HUNTER'S MOON is volume three in this Manga series.
Ellie has to finally convince her boyfriend, Will, that he is indeed the reincarnation of the infamous King Arthur. The Homecoming Dance is just around the corner, and if Ellie can't get him to believe in himself by 10pm that night, all is lost, at least according to the Order of the Bear, the sworn protectors of the prophecy.
Morgan, a rival for Homecoming Queen, is out to sabotage Ellie however she can. And in the background, Will's brother, Marcus, is still a threat. But Ellie can't be concerned with either of those things. Her sole purpose is to make Will believe.
As the clock counts down, Avalon High's football team struggles to conquer their rivals the Barbarians. And Ellie doesn't feel comfortable in the dress that Jennifer has picked out for her to wear as part of the Homecoming Court.
HUNTER'S MOON concludes the series nicely. I don't want to give away all the drama and action that ensues - that would spoil all the fun! But as with the previous two Manga books in this series, the illustrations are lavish. The plot moves quickly, and is easy to follow along. The romance is sweet and appropriate for all ages.
For any fan of Meg Cabot, this will surely please. And for fans of Manga, they too will be spellbound until the final page and the resolution of the prophecy.

And thus ends a trilogy. Full of romance and rushing to beat the clock, the story of whether Will accepts his fate as the reincarnation as King Arthur comes to a conclusion. The story concentrates on the countdown as to whether Will save the world form ruin or not and the plot against them by Will's brother and his girlfriend Morgan with the climax happening at a high school football game. {Yawn} Again, like the other books in this series, the King Arthur plot holds the story together but basically we are following the soap opera lives of teens and their romances. I found it to be a quick piece of fluff that was entirely predictable. Again, the illustrations of the girls in their ballgowns remind me of Disney princesses and the artwork just doesn't appeal to me at all. However, Meg Cabot is a popular author and I'm sure her fans and regular audience will probably enjoy this much more than I who have never read the author's work before. This volume is the best of all three with it's final conclusion which ends the Coronation part of the title but obviously leaves plenty of room for sequels.

This one really suffers from being the last third of a novel. The recap explains the basic plot, but the motivations of the characters (particularly the villains) felt pasted on. I never got the sense that Marco or Morgan were anything but puppets of prophecy, forced to be "evil" because they were assigned those roles.
Apparently in the earlier parts, Ellie is established as a "jock." This is not on display in this volume. Instead the qualities that allow her to win the day are prettiness, popularity, and a total faith in her boyfriend's destiny. The art does the story no favors either. The characters are stiff, the flashing back and forth between high school and Arthurian costume makes the action hard to follow, and "jock" Ellie looks no more fit than "witch" Morgan. This is especially noticeable when Ellie tries on two different dresses for the Homecoming Dance. One is supposed to not suit her, the other does, but she looks equally stiff in both.
The book might have done better if I had all three parts, or I had read the novel it was adapting.

And so the trilogy comes to its final conclusion. The story was utterly predictable and there was little surprise to any of it. Morgan and Marco got what was coming to them, Will and the football team came from behind and won the big game, and Ellie made Homecoming Queen. Yeah, not at all surprising.
Still, I think I really got a kick out of watching Ellie put her crown on Will's head. I just laughed, seeing that tiara get put on his head.
Overall, Avalon High was infinitely better, both in story and in format. Going manga style wasn't the best idea, and the story became utterly inane. At least in the principle book it was exciting and inspired some sense of curiosity. This trilogy? Not so much.

So in this final instalment, Ellie has little time to convince her boyfriend Will that he is the reincarnation of King Arthur. Now that the clock is tickling, she needs all of her imagination to save the world....
It was a really awesome way to end the series. Of course, it could still go on and I wouldn't mind reading more of these. Because the story may have ended, but there's always an opening that brings the option to continue this aventure.
Reading the three manga on the same day was fun and it was a nice reading. Beautiful graphics, easy to follow for people who never read Avalon High *though I recommend that you do first* and always keeping us hooked on them.
So if you loved Avalon High, I recommend that you add the 3 manga following the aventure.:)

In this, the third book in the Avalon High trilogy, Ellie is intent on reuniting her boyfriend Will with his family and convincing to accept his destiny as a reincarnated King Arthur.
She's also running for Homecoming Queen.
I loved the novel that this trilogy is based on (Avalon High), but these manga (what is plural for manga?) don't quite do it for me. Even three books can't capture the original, and the drawings reduce the characters to caricatures. The books don't seem to be very popular in my classroom either, so I'm not sure that they work as a bridge to the novels. If could be, however, that manga just isn't the right form for me.

Well.....pfft.
This was the sorriest, hastiest ending to a series that had so much potential. I don't know why but it just didn't feel like Meg Cabot's imaginative, strong heroine-oriented writing.
The loose ends were tied up in a ridiculous way. Ellie quivered in a way that would want Ellie of Book 1 kick her tush to Camelot and back. A wonderful medieval/urban fantasy degenerated into nothing more than high-school drama and I was very very disappointed.
Dearest Meg.....your writing was my gateway into YA Lit. I adored your fiesty heroines, dishy heroes, funny exchanges and smooth plot progressions. Please....PLEASE reinvent this series.

Dearest Meg.....your writing was my gateway into YA Lit. I adored your fiesty heroines, dishy heroes, funny exchanges and smooth plot progressions. Please....PLEASE reinvent this series.

I finally got a hold of this. Been looking since it was released. Honestly Avalon High is one of my favorite stand alone novels Cabot wrote but...this series is a mess. It's cute but there is much here. It think this might have worked better as a second novel but I don't know. Cabot will always be my favorite author and nothing will change that and as much as it pains me to rate this so low, I didn't really like it.
Also, Cabot is a traded illustrator. Why didn't she do the art? Was she to busy? Did the publishing house want to use someone else? She was probably to busy. She released a lot between 2007 and 2009

Well, it was better than I thought it would be. Being a King Arthur purist with very definite opinions on the characters I wasn't sure how I'd like a "modern" retelling but instead of moving the story into the present day, it frames it as being a reincarnation story. some of the girlieness got to me after a while though- I got to the point where I never wanted to hear how handsome Will (Arthur) was. Yes, we need to know that Ellie is really into him, but you really do get the idea after about 100 times. Stuff did come together somewhat nicely though.

A fine conclusion even though it seemed a little built up to have the conclusion that he only needs to believe in himself and then the whole world won't be turned to darkness. Will only had till Friday at 10 p.m. to believe in himself. I am glad we don't have time constraints on believing in ourselves. Probably the majority of us this belief fluctuates from one activity to another or one hour to another.

And this is finished! Jeez, the only good thing about this series was that it was very short and it took very little time to read it.
Bad art; bad plot; unbelievable, stupid, vapid main character. The homecoming queen thing was so stupid and empty that it was almost ridiculous.
And how Will comes into believing that he's King Arthur... that doesn't make sense!
I actually wasted my money on this series. SIGH!

A good ending to the series. Probably the best of the series. The art was still great and the writing was on par. Just a little underwhelming all things considered.
I'm overall a little disappointment in this series, but I'm still glad I read it. It's nice to know what happened to the characters I got to know in Avalon High.
