Overview:

Disney Channel's production of Julie Sherman
Wolfe's screenplay adaptation of the popular novel
Avalon High by Meg Cabot. Elaine "Ellie" Harrison
has just moved from Minnesota to Annapolis,
Maryland while her parents take a year long
sabbatical to continue their medieval studies in
nearby DC. Her new high 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, and
all around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon
High is who they appear to be, not even Ellie
herself. Eventually, it becomes apparent that
Avalon High is a situation where the ancient
Arthurian legend is repeating itself. Will,
Jennifer, Lance, Marco, and Mr. Morton all
correspond to King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Knight
Lancelot, Mordred, and Merlin, respectively.
