Avalon is definitely one of my favourite books one Wattpad, if not the #1 favourite. It's so awesome to read something so different- not sappy, high-school scenes, but hard-core bull-roping, horse riding, pranking, tattooing, and Naked Asian Cook Youtube- all set in the epic land of Australia!

Palominolane is in amazingly talented writer, and I simply die every time she releases a new chapter on Wattpad! Keep up the absolutely amazing writing, you are an inspiration to me :)

PS- Totally Team Noah :P

This story is by my beautiful friend who we shall call Palomino! I'd like to point out that it is a first draft which is posted on a writing site called Wattpad. So before anyone posts a review please take into consideration that this story is UNEDITED & UNFINISHED!!

Now to fangirl!! Absolutely love the many quirky and relatable characters based on the many characters Palomino has met over the years. The story is based in Australia and is set in the outback. Avalon is charismatic and a beautiful soul who sees the good in everyone... well almost everyone LOL! People are drawn to her personality and caring nature but be warned if you mess with her friends or family she has another side that bites!
All in all it's a brilliant read (even unedited) that'll leave you wanting more! Can't wait for my hard copy when she publishes Avalon!!! xxx

You’ll never meet anyone else like her, she’s got a loving heart of gold filled with truth, justice….and the Avalon way.

Join Avalon in her beach city adventures as she battles wits with her evil mother, takes down the school’s #1 hottie surfer boy – AKA her next door neighbor, saves a local ranch, and restores the sanity of the elderly in a nursing home; all while being honest and cheeky, never letting anyone get her down, and always having the last word. Fearlessly independent, she’s a force to be reckoned with either standing up to bullies or implementing her wild ideas. She can sing most any song to accompany her antics and she’s the best friend you could ever ask for. She desperately wants to get back home to her precious cattle station, but she’s making new friends and showing them that there’s more to life than popularity and how you look. She’s the backbone they need to change their lives for the best.

This is the most superb book I’ve read in…..like I don’t even remember the last great book I’ve read because this one is that awesome! Let me list some of Avalon’s antics for ya:

1. She gets Surf King Seth’s maid to make cooking tutorials naked, only wearing an apron. Avalon posts these on youtube under the channel name The Naked Chef, securing the maid fame and possibly a future career.

2. Avalon sings Hannah Montana in a biker bar reminiscent of the Tangled pub scene, and when they are about to go ape-sh*t crazy on her, she makes it up to them, jamming on the electric guitar and performs AC/DC’s Thunderstruck, then requests donations for instruments to give to a nursing home.

3. She drives an excavator and uses it to dangle Seth’s car in front of his house, and when the police come to question her, she opens the door in cute pajamas and tells them Seth is always trying to get her to kiss him.

These are just snippets at what goes on, the entire book is one expedition of amazing. The author is still updating, but there are already 42 glorious chapters to read.....so GET TO IT! read Avalon on wattpad

The book was a really intricate work of past and present. The main character, Avalon, moves from her home on a farm and to the city with her horse Amber, to live with her mother. She isn't happy about it but does it any way for the sake of her farm and family. She meets the next door neighbour named Seth and a boy named Noah. During the whole book there are many flash backs about her home on the farm and different stories. It makes the sory really interesting and strong because not only did she develop a new character but also her whole family and there different points of views during the book. Her writing style is also very clean and interesting. Her portrayal of Avalon's horse is almost like a whole different person in the form of the horse. She gives the horse a voice and different characteristics. The whole book overall was one of the best books I have ever read.

This book, while still a work in progress, portrays such a vibrant main character that I couldn't put it down. I am enthralled with avalon and her antics. I can't wait to see what she does next.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It's comical but realistic. I find it quite inspiring. It's a book everyone should read, even if you don't think you'll like it since horses are an important part of it.
