Excuse me while I go back in time and high-five my sixteen-year-old self. As a teen, I loved Avalon High (written by Meg Cabot, author of the Princess Diaries series), and now it's finally getting the mediocre, tween-oriented, made-for-TV movie it deserves. The film stars Britt Robertson (from the CW's underrated Life Unexpected) and Gregg Sulkin (Wizards of Waverly Place) and premieres on the Disney Channel this November. (The 12th, to be exact, not that I've marked it on my calendar or anything...) With a cast that also includes Molly Quinn, who plays Nathan Fillion's charming daughter on Castle, I can't help but hope that this adaptation might actually be good. (Well, as good as "good" can mean when we're talking about the Disney Channel.) Is it wrong that as an almost-college-graduate, Disney is still making my dreams come true? I have to say, a part of me is saddened that they waited until I was no longer of the age at which it is acceptable to get excited over a Disney Channel Original Movie adaptation of a teen novel, but a larger part of me is exhibiting my usual disregard for age limits (they're more like guidelines, really) and still can't wait to see the book brought to life on the small screen.
