What a fun romp through fairytales. Alex Flinn has done it again, cleverly recreating, modernizing and humourously creating characters we think we know. Told several points of view but alway return to our main character witch Kendra - good witch? bad witch? even she's not sure. References to Beastly, the titanic, Marie Antionette, vampires, ashley olsen and full house and so much more.
Here's the book jacket summary:
Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn't.
I go to a new school now - one where no one know that I should have graduated long ago. I'm not still here because I'm stupid; I just don't age.
You see, I'm immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years - except for when to take my powers and butt out.
I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. and that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I don't even want to think about it.
Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn't get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I think I have just the thing to fix that girl - and it isn't an enchanted pumpkin. although you never know what will happen when I start...
Here's the book trailer:
