Ellie is unlike any other female. She's more laid back, chill, but very down to earth. Most teenagers would struggle with moving to school to school constantly. Ellie on the other hand doesn't seem as bothered by it. Maybe its because shes used to her parents crazy "medieval" obsession. Boys were never really on her mind like that. She's certainly not the type to awe over a boy; until she meet A. William Wagner. He is a student council; president at Avalon High, star football player, and most of all the biggest leader of the whole school. Unfortunately this "star" has a girlfriend, Jennifer Gold. The most beautiful barbie at school. The typical blonde cheerleader everyday popular girl. To Ellie there's no chance that he would like a girl like me when hes dating the most popular girl at school. However uninvited William Wagner was at Ellie's front door asking to see me. Ellie could only imagine " How does he know where i live "; " Doesn't he have a girlfriend? ". One thing that she doesn't want him or anyone to find out what she hates; is that shes named after a girl who killed herself over a guy.
"It's not exactly cool to be named after someone who killed herself over a guy"(pg.7).
With all the medieval chaos going on at home. If Ellie continues to grow stronger feelings for Will it can definitely come back to haunt her. If Jennifer finds out that he has been at Ellie's house it can turn into a cat fight. Even worse Will would have to choose between a serious live triangle. A reference that could happen is her "name". How in the early 13th century a girl kills herself over a guy because the deep love she shared for him he didn't share back. The same grief past Elaine died from can be the same fate for Ellie. If i was in Ellie's position personally first i will know my place as a new student. No matter how much i like the guy if he's with someone else that's my cue to not make a fool out of myself. I would tell Will that you must tell your girlfriend where you are so she won't get the wrong idea. Yea it stinks when your crush is with another girl, but if he flirts with you its time to step back. Therefore, if i was in Ellie's head i would think what if i was jennifer? I would be upset if my boyfriend is going to someone else's house, and when the girl asks about me you don't want to answer. With that mindest Ellie will then make the smart decsion why; because its just girl code.( Elaine Of Astolot)

I really like this sort of love triangle thing going on in this book. I feel that Ellie might try to become good friends with the guy or even try to be his girlfriend. I think this might happen because if she does this then she could become very popular in school. Many people want to be popular when it comes to high school. That thought could possibly take over Ellie`s mindset.
ReplyDeleteNice blog sounds pretty good. it was very informative.

ReplyDeleteI really like how this book sounds so far. It seems like an interesting book to read since it takes place in the present but goes back to medieval times because her parents write books in that time frame. I would probably read this book next because of how interesting it is.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a very interesting book. I'm curious as to what Ellie's going to decide to do. Since he does have a girlfriend, is she still going to go through with it? She would have to deal with that constant worry of his girlfriend finding out. If I was Ellie, I wouldn't want to get caught up in all that drama.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comments guys. There is still so much to uncover throughout the book. So much mystery and love triangles appear. Now Will's best friend is hooking up with Jen. What will Ellie do. Will she loss Will's trust. Hopefully she makes the right decision.
ReplyDeleteThis book seems very interesting. The fact that the boy has a girlfriend sets up for an in interesting plot. If Ellie decides to pursue him, it could cause a lot of drama. I also like how the book also refers back to the medieval times which is what her parents write about.
ReplyDeleteExcept from the idea of her having medieval parents, just like Ellie I too have traveled from different schools for years now. sounds like a good read, and im waiting to find out more about your novel.
