<\/i>Jinx Honeychurch might just be the clumsiest girl in the world. Her real name, Jean, doesn’t really suit her any better than her nickname, because it’s boring and safe — everything Jinx would prefer not to be. Still, she is who she is — nice, but clumsy, a girl living under a Jinx.<\/a> She’s hoped that moving to New York to stay with her aunt and uncle would have changed all that.<\/p>\n

It has — but it hasn’t.<\/p>\n

Jinx is still clumsy, but she’s got friends now — sweet Petra, the nanny, and cute Zach, the one of Tory’s friends who doesn’t make Jinx cringe. Jinx also has an unexpected ally — her cousin Tory, who claims she knows the reason for Jinx’s unpleasant clumsiness. It’s not a curse — it’s because Jinx is a witch. And if Jinx doesn’t join her coven, and fully come into her power, which is, after all, practically a family heirloom, so it’s half Tory’s anyway — then Tory’s going to be sure Jinx doesn’t share her magic with ANYONE else.<\/p>\n

The poisonously mean cousin Tory and a sweet and naive Jinx don’t seem to have anywhere to go but where the plot leads them. Tory is all evil — to the point of psychosis, and Jinx is all good, even though her past has a tiny blemish. Perfect Zach also lends a shiny Ken-doll smile and a handsome hand as the Hunky Neighbor in this lightweight and predictable but fun-for-an-airport read from Meg Cabot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
