Meg Cabot is best known for creating The Princess Diaries. More than 15,000,000 copies of her novels are in print worldwide.
Praise for Jinky Coronado
“It was clear to me from the very beginning that there was one artist who completely captured the spirit of the characters…and that’s why I chose Jinky Coronado. Jinky saw my characters the way I see my characters. And that was good enough for me.”
~Meg Cabot
Reviews for Avalon High (the novel)

~SLJ
“Readers will thoroughly enjoy the twists and turns of the story.”
~The Horn Book
“The prose and story gallop along with a style that will easily appeal to fans of fantasy and realistic fiction alike. Very nicely done.”

Being a new student at Avalon High has been exciting for Ellie, to say the least--she's an honor student, a star on the track team, and, oh yeah, dating the super-hot class president, Will. Who also happens to be the alleged reincarnation of King Arthur. Ellie couldn't be happier to have Will in her life, but she's also worried that his estrangement from his parents is tearing him apart. To make matters worse, Will's doubt that he really is King Arthur could prevent the Merlin Prophecy--an age of enlightenment--from occurring. Can Ellie convince Will to believe in something that even she isn't sure about? And more importantly, can she get him to give his parents another chance? With all the mythology and mysticism of Avalon High, Meg Cabot's very first manga is indeed a tale for the ages.
Lance
Will's best friend.
Jennifer
Ellie's best friend.
Morgan
Ellie's classmate. She's sneaky, she's conniving, she's evil...and she lives to make Ellie's life pure torture!
Marco
Will's unstable stepbrother.
Will
Ellie's boyfriend. He's the class president...and also the alleged reincarnation of King Arthur.
Ellie
She's an honor student, a star on the track team, and oh, yeah, dating the super-hot class president, Will.

We are so excited to be a part of this amazing project. Working with both Meg and Jinky has been a pleasure. We’ve been big fans of Meg Cabot’s for eons now, and are constantly amazed by how prolific she is. Does this girl ever sleep?!
Jinky Coronado, the accomplished manga creator of Banzai Girl, instantly brought Meg’s characters to life and gave them such a distinctive visual style--her ability to capture action and drama on the page never ceases to amaze us! What a great team! We hope you enjoy this look into the mythological world of Avalon High: Coronation.

i read the first book in my town library it was ok but it was your average non illustrated book, reading the second volume of the story in manga form makes it soo much more interesting.

This book was incredibly disappointing. It isn't "manga-style" in the least. The art is gross and American comic-influenced. Will, who was supposed to be hot, looks like a girl. The artist put a lot of emphasis into bulging butts, lips, and boobs. The details are harsh and realistic and there are no Japanese manga moments, such as super-deformed characters or comical backgrounds. The storyline is weak and there is hardly any text. The entire first chapter is just a recap of the book. When I heard Meg Cabot was writing manga, I was excited and read the novel Avalon High just so I could read the manga. But I wouldn't waste your money on this. If you want to read it, I suggest going to a bookstore and reading it because it takes only up to fifteen minutes and is so not worth the price. ~ A-Chan

I ADORE Meg Cabot. I own all her books and eagerly anticipate her new ones, but none stay as close to my heart as Avalon High. I cannot rate both this manga or the original novel highly enough. A MUST READ. Go buy it and start your Cabot Craze today.

So...I wonder if Morgan is going to be the reincarnation of Morgan le Fay, Arthur's sorceress half-sister or perhaps, in playing with the whole name-doesn't-matter theme, or Viviane who was the original Lady of the Lake who learns her magic from Merlin, makes him fall in love with her, and locks him in a cave. It'd be a bit gross if she's based off of Morgan le Fay since that would mean the reincarnations of Arthur's half-brother and half-sister were going out and kissing. Since they aren't related in the current time, though, I suppose it's not so bad...though Morgan le Fay didn't attempt to overthrow Arthur from what I know. She just got in trouble for adultry.

Just to let you know that date is for the United Kingdom, so hopefully in the US will get it a little sooner or around that time. Oh yeah In the United Kingdom also, Jinx will come out as a manga on May 2, 2008.

It's great that Meg's amazing stories are now turning into manga... I'm a big fan of hers. Next should be Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series -- they've got an amazing storyline and characters!

it was too short!!! i listened to the novel in like 3 days and i LOVED it, but when i read the manga, it was good, but she spent one 3rd of it reviewing the novel and the book itself can't afford that with it only having 128 pages! not, saying u shouldn't read it (it's really good), but come on!
