Jinx

Hello. My name is Jalehlabad and I am a Meg Cabot-aholic. I can't help it; I am addicted to all her books and I love them. It's a disease, y'all. And had I known about her when I was in Bloomington I would have maybe tried to get her to meet me at the new Target and discussed the pros and cons of the Target being attached to the mall (since she is a B'ton native and an IU grad). It sounds like a conversation you might have with Meg. She even agrees with me on how awesome North and South is (see previous post).

So, right; the book. Jinx is the story of Jean Honeychurch. Jean's a PK (Preacher' kid) from Iowa who lands herself in a bit of a bind. Jean aka Jinx, because of her noted bad luck, ends of moving to NYC to live with her aunt's family. This is when the real trouble begins. Because Jinx's cousin Tory thinks that the oldest granddaughters of the family are hereditary witches. And Tory's kind of magic isn't the nice kind. On top of all that, Jinx and Tory both like Zach Rosen. Is Jinx a witch or does she just have some really bad luck? You'll have to read the book to find out.
