Avalon High is a young adult novel by Meg Cabot, published in 2005. It reached number 3 on The New York Times' children's best sellers list in January 2006. Three manga volumes have been released: Coronation Volume 1: The Merlin Prophecy, Coronation Volume 2: Homecoming, and Coronation Volume 3: Hunter's Moon.
Ellie Harrison has just moved to Annapolis, Maryland. Her new school, Avalon High, seems like a typical high school with the stereotypical students: Lance the jock, Jennifer the cheerleader, Marco, the bad boy/desperado, and Will, the senior class president, quarterback, the student every girl wants and all around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be, not even Ellie herself.
Elaine "Ellie" Harrison: the new student at Avalon High—she moved to Annapolis, Maryland from Minnesota and is presumed to represent Elaine of Astolat for most of the novel, though it is revealed later that she plays a different role in the legend, The Lady of the Lake, Arthur's magical protecter, as most of the people thought. In the movie they change her as the reincarnation of King Arthur.
Arthur William "Will" Wagner Jr.: has a slightly disruptive family relationship at home and is a star quarterback for the Avalon High School Fighting Knights, he represents King Arthur, as most people thought.
Jennifer Gold: a cheerleader who corresponds to Queen Guinevere in the legend.
Lance Reynolds: the Avalon High School football team's cornerback, who is Will's best friend. He goes behind Will's back to cheat with Jennifer. Lance corresponds to Sir Lancelot
Marco Campbell: Marco is Will's step-brother/half brother. He represent Mordred.
Mr. Morton: Avalon High School English teacher. He is a member of "The Order of the Bear" and represents Merlin.
Admiral Arthur William Wagner Sr.: He is Will's father and he corresponds to Uther Pendragon in the legend. He seemingly murders his best friend (by sending him into combat where he was killed) and then marries his wife.
