Add a CommentEllie is a great protagonist. She's funny, a bit sarcastic, and smart. Her budding relationship with Will is sweet. But most importantly,she brings a serious grounding in reality to this imaginative retelling of the King Arthur legends. Cabot crafts a fun novel, a realistic world of teen drama, and throws in just enough fantasy to make things interesting. And of course, any novel that heavily references The Lady of Shalott automatically makes me like it. A great read whether you're really into Arthurian legend or not.
awesome book, and great plot. i loved reading this book! :)
Super creative combination. Completely unexpected. Definitely enjoyed reading it.
Sooo good!
Recommended for girls with small minds aged 9 to 13. I guess it's what I expected from an author like Meg Cabot: a simple love story with an even simpler plot and characters that are even more simple than that. No wonder Meg Cabot writes so many books; this probably took her a month at the most. With the way it ended, I'm not sure if it has a sequel, but even if it does, I'm not reading it. In short, if you like the kind of stuff a half-decent author could cough up in a month or so, that doesn't break the mould in any way, read this. For the rest of us who like something a little different, it's not worth the time.
Camelot <swoon> my kind of fantasy to revisit. Love this!
It's been a while since I have so much fun reading a new book! The prolific Meg Cabot, (my daughter was reading the _Allie Finkle_ series while I read this) has come up with a funny, yet inspired take on the Arthurian legends. Ellie, (real name Elaine), the offspring of two medieval obsessed professors, has just transferred to the title high school, where she meets a trio of popular kids: hot shot football star Lance, golden girl cheerleader Jennifer, and the mysterious, too-good-to-be-true A. William Wagner: class president, star quarterback. natural leader and heroic protector of nerds and other outcasts. Why, Ellie wonders, does she feel she's met them all before? Although anyone who's ever seen _Camelot_ will guess "Will's" real name and destiny long before Ellie does, Cabot provides a couple of twists on the legend you won't see coming. Hint: Ellie's affinity for water and floating are significant, but not in the way everyone thinks.
i love this book its such a cute story! plus the main character has the same name as me !!!!
a very good book. goe back to time like around king arther. but it is not exactly a old book
This was a good book. The begining was a bit slow but it gets better. I like that all of the events connected with King Arthors time good book!
