Avalon High: Coronation Volume 2

Avalon High: Coronation Volume 2

Meg Cabot's magical Arthurian epic continues . . . MANGA STYLE!

Will's dangerous brother, Marco, has been released from the mental hospital, and it seems like he's turned over a new leaf. But Ellie isn't sure she trusts him yet, especially when she keeps having creepy nightmares about him every night.

Meanwhile, Mr. Morton is still convinced that Ellie’s boyfriend, Will, is the reincarnation of King Arthur, and that if Ellie doesn't help Will believe this, too, the world is going to end—this Friday. But all this won't stop Ellie from trying to pull off the big dinner party she's arranged to reunite Will with his parents . . . even though it might be a total disaster.

When you and your friends are reliving Arthurian legend, you can never catch a break!

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.

~Katherine Schilling and Julie Taylor, editors

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.

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.”

I would have liked a novel sequel. This isn't even manga... -_- The art is just gross, in my opinion. And the hot guys aren't hot. :P

I quite agree! Finally, I have been waiting and looking around for this one for so long! And I'm curious if there will also be a sequel to the novel version of this series. I thought there was, because when I looked on the bookshelf at Borders, I saw Avalon High with two different colored covers. But no, for some strange reason they decide the print the book in a pink and in a purple cover.
