The newest novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot offers all of the witty teen-appeal of the Princess Diaries, but with a mysterious paranormal twist. Jean Honeychurch didn't just earn the nickname, Jinx, from the power failure the night was born—misfortune seems to follow her everywhere. This is why her parents have shipped her off to Manhattan to stay with relatives—including her beautiful and sophisticated cousin Tory—until some of the trouble Jinx caused in her hometown dies down. Tory is too caught up in her own popularity to pay attention to her cousin...at least until Jinx's chronic bad luck starts wreaking havoc in Tory's perfect world. Jinx soon learns that beneath her cousin's glamour lies a twisted world of hatred and revenge. Perhaps the jinx she's lived under since birth might be the only thing that can save her life.
When Jean moves from Iowa to live with family in Manhattan, she hopes the bad luck that earned her the nickname "Jinx" doesn't follow. Unfortunately, even if she could move on, her sophisticated but malicious cousin Tory won't let her. Both girls have magical powers, but there can only be one witch in the family. Amber Sealey develops Jinx from a naïve country girl to a confident witch in this magical story. Sealey is most believable when portraying Tory as a conniving witch with a capital "B." Her voices for the supporting cast of family members, the German au pair, and the cute guy Jinx and Tory fancy are equally believable in this tale of high jinks in a Manhattan high school. M.M.O.
