So, I've kinda been a snob, because I disdained books by Meg Cabot after trying The Princess Diaries and disliking it. But this title caught my attention (I have a weakness for King Arthur) so I picked it up (along with Airhead, more on that later). This got me started on a big Meg Cabot streak, so watch out. Anyway, Ellie is the daughter of two proffessors on sabatical for a year. Consequently she starts attenting Avalon High and mets A. Will, Lance, Jennifer and Will's brother Marco. You figure out the rest.
Hmmm... Mystical stuff, if that is a bad thing.
Yay! (I just learned how to spell that) Lots of wonderful things, like loyalty, being yourself, breaking free (no singing) and fighting for your destiny. Also the parents seem pretty cool (hers at least).
This is totally my favorite Meg Cabot so far. The story was witty, fast paced and also had room to be reverent towards the mystical side of the Arthur legend. I really liked it!

I've also been put off Meg Cabot, though I used to read a lot of the Princess Diaries when I was younger. I think I'll give this one a try though - it sounds interesting. You made me laugh when you said there's no singing, ha ha ha.
