Over the next few weeks, I thought I’d share some of my
favorite books with you. But these aren’t just any books, they’re monster
books. Each day I’ll pick a monster-of-choice and tell you my favorite book
featuring said monster. These posts were inspired by Katytastic’s “Creature of the Night Book Tag.”
The first monster on the list is WITCH. And for this particular monster, I chose…
Jinx
Publication Date: August, 2007
Hardcover,
262 pages, Harper Teen
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult
It's not easy being Jinx.
The only thing Jean Honeychurch
hates more than her boring name (not Jean Marie, or Jeanette, just...Jean) is
her all-too-appropriate nickname, Jinx. Misfortune seems to follow her
everywhere she goes—which is why she's thrilled to be moving in with her aunt
and uncle in New York City. Maybe when she's halfway across the country, Jinx
can finally outrun her bad luck. Or at least escape the havoc she's caused back
in her small hometown.
But trouble has definitely
followed Jinx to New York. And it's causing big problems for her cousin Tory,
who is not happy to have the family black sheep around. Beautiful, glamorous
Tory is hiding a dangerous secret—one that she's sure Jinx is going to reveal.
Jinx is beginning to realize it
isn't just bad luck she's been running from. It's something far more
sinister...and the curse Jinx has lived under since the day she was born might
just be the only thing that can save her life.
My Reasons
I almost forgot about this book. I’m really glad that I didn’t,
because besides Harry Potter, this is one of the best witch books I’ve read. It’s
cute, funny, yet remarkably real at the same time.
What’s your favorite witch book?
