''Avalon: Web of Magic'' is a series of children's fantasy novels written by Rachel Roberts, loosely based on the ideas from ''WesternAnimation/PrincessGwenevereAndTheJewelRiders''. The first installment, ''Circles in the Stream'', was originally published in 2001. After its publisher went out of business in 2005, without publishing the last two books, the series was in limbo until Creator/SevenSeasEntertainment picked it up in late 2006. Seven Seas republished all twelve books, revised by the author and with new covers and illustrations. The series has also been adapted into a three-volume OEL manga.

''Avalon: Web of Magic'' is a series of children's fantasy novels written by Rachel Roberts, loosely based on the ideas from ''PrincessGwenevereAndTheJewelRiders''. The first installment, ''Circles in the Stream'', was originally published in 2001. After its publisher went out of business in 2005, without publishing the last two books, the series was in limbo until SevenSeasEntertainment picked it up in late 2006. Seven Seas republished all twelve books, revised by the author and with new covers and illustrations. The series has also been adapted into a three-volume OEL manga.

According to the website, "Avalon: Web of Magic is a sweeping series of young adult fantasy novels...[that] features a magical and adventurous storyline, with positive messages...[and] supports a continuing story arc starring three teenage girls and their animal friends, that centers on themes of friendship, triumph over adversity and love for nature." (TL;DR: Three twelve-year-old girls find magic jewels, bond with magical animals, and become mages who must defend Earth and the magical worlds from a power-hungry BigBad. This boils down to trying to find the lost home of all magic, Avalon, before the BigBad does.

Basically, take any MagicalGirl show, subtract the cute costumes, transformation sequences, and monster-of-the-week format, and add a green theme and loads of cute fuzzy animals.
----
!!!The books in the series are:
* ''Circles in the Stream''
* ''All That Glitters''
* ''Cry of the Wolf''
* ''Secret of the Unicorn''
* ''Spellsinger''
* ''Trial By Fire''
* ''Song of the Unicorns''
* ''All's Fairy in Love and War''
* ''Ghost Wolf''
* ''Heart of Avalon''
* ''Dark Mage''
* ''Full Circle''
----
!!These books provide examples of:

* AllGirlsLikePonies: The series is littered with Pegasi, Elemental Horses, Night Stallions and loads of {{Unicorn}}s on top of the regular horses.
* AlphaBitch: Kara is a subversion. She's a popular blonde cheerleader fashionista with a catty girl posse, but Kara herself isn't exactly cruel, and she gets some depth and character development as the series goes on.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: The Prophecy about Avalon and the mages.
* BigBad: The Dark Sorceress, and the Spider Witch to a lesser degree.
* BigBadassWolf: The Mistwolves.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Kara, Adriane (black), Emily (auburn).
* BodyHorror: Being exposed to too much Dark magic will do this.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Happens to the trio in multiple occasions. Emily got the furthest.
* CallARabbitASmeerp
* CostumePorn: They don't always dress up elaborately, but going by how the book gives descriptions, it seems like everything they wear is [[PimpedOutDress pimped out]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: The shadow creatures and the denizens of the Otherworlds aren't necessarily evil.
* DarkerAndEdgier: As the books progress the themes and situations get more and more intense, if not downright disturbing for [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids children's books]]
* DemotedToExtra: Zach had a big role in ''Cry of the Wolf'' and it seemed he would be important from then-on, but he hasn't shown up much or done anything important since then. He may play a bigger part in Shadow Warrior, but this has yet to be seen.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Stormbringer, as we find out in ''Ghost Wolf'']].
** [[spoiler:And Ozzie in ''Dark Mage'']].
* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: Minor example: Tweek labels a pie chart 'The Pie Chart of Doom'.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:In ''Dark Mage'', Ozzie dies, Emily turns evil, the Dark Sorceress enters Avalon and closes the Gates behind her, and the Spider Witch re-weaves the web so she can control it]]. Yeah, that qualifies.
* DramaticUnmask: With the Forest Prince.
* ElementsOfNature: Become a big deal when hitting Level Two.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Time apparently has no weakness.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Emily at the end of ''Dark Mage'']].
** Silvan after their group was betrayed [[spoiler:and she turned into the Spider Witch.]]
* FakeBand: B* Tween, who were {{Defictionalized}} when some of "their" songs were released in the early 2000s to promote the book series.
* FantasticScience: For a fantasy world, there's quite an number of research laboratories.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Adriane and Kara supposedly learned to play nice and get along in ''Spellsinger'', when their bickering (caused by magical mind control) almost let the bad guys win. [[spoiler:In ''Dark Mage'', when they have yet another fight, neither considers that the other is being mind-controlled (surprise: both are), and they're too busy fighting with each other to stop the BigBad from winning for real]].
* GenreBlindness: Does anyone ever say "Gee guys, Character X is sure acting strangely. I wonder, since we're in a story where mind control magic and shapeshifters exist, if they're under some sort of spell or are being impersonated by a monster in disguise."? No. Never.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Gardner and Lucinda.]]
* TheHeartless: The shadow creatures.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kara, Adriane, and Zach when he first shows up..
* LighterAndSofter: The manga adaptation.
* MagicGenetics: Magical ability can skip a generation, and you can be descended from someone who apparently never had kids (or had them very young).
* MagicMusic: Spellsinging.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Gran, with her fortune cookie sayings. Her granddaughter Adriane too, being the warrior, who bonds with wolves, can travel the astral planes in spirit form, and her element is earth.
* {{Magitek}}: Employed by the BigBad as well as Tasha and Logan.
* MilesGloriosus: Gwyx.
* MindRape: Done a lot by the Dark Sorceress, although they all fail when she tries to turn the mages into the Dark Mage. [[spoiler:The Spider Witch succeeds where she failed.]]
* MoeStare: Everyone but Adriane in the manga. At least until she got hit by a love spell.
* MotherNatureFatherScience: The manga. Nature-and-emotions mage magic (practiced by the three female main characters) vs. logic-and-precision Warlock magic (practiced by the male Donovan). Of the two male mages in the novels, one never shows up in the manga at all and the other is just the comic relief sidekick.
** And in the books, there's the arcane arts. Essentially the same as warlock magic.
* MusicalEpisode: ''Spellsinger''.
* OrwellianRetcon: Switching publishers to SevenSeasEntertainment let the author fix some of the problems with the series. The last two books avert this by not being published before the previous publisher went belly-up.
* ThePowerOfFriendship
* PowerTrio: The three main characters: Kara is the Id, Adriane is the Superego and Emily is the Ego.
* RandomPowerRanking: In general, mage power ranking apparently only goes up to two in practice and a theoretical level three.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: A lot of the magical animals in the series are like this.
* ShoutOut: Many. But the best one has got to be the magic closet in the Fairy Realms. It's basically like the [[WhiteVoidRoom Construct]] in Film/TheMatrix that produces all the guns, only with clothes.
** "[[Music/BlueOysterCult More cowbell!]]" in the third manga.
* SuperSmoke: The aptly named mistwolves all share this ability.
* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:The mages finally decide this in Full Circle, but only [[FaceHeelTurn after]] [[DownerEnding the]] [[BecauseDestinySaysSo fact]]]].
* TeenIdol: Johnny Conrad, in-series.
* TheThreeFacesOfEve: Kara is childish, Emily is sensible and Adriane is dark.
* TonightSomeoneDies: [[spoiler:Stormbringer]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Everyone else's reaction to Kara's shopping-trip-in-the-middle-of-a-crisis in ''Dark Mage''.
