Beewitched by Julia Dweck

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is a really cute book. I enjoyed the story and the bright, colorful illustrations. This is a great book for kids showing them how they should like themselves just the way they are. They should never want to be something they are not.

Book Description

Release Date: September 29, 2009

With Roz and Eva everything becomes a contest—who can snag the best role in the school play, have the cutest boyfriend, pull off the craziest prank. Still, they’re as close as sisters can be. Until Eva deletes Roz from her life like so much junk e-mail for no reason that Roz understands. Now Eva hangs out with the annoyingly petite cheerleaders, and Roz fantasizes about slipping bovine growth hormone into their Gatorade.
Roz has a suspicion about Eva. In turn, Eva taunts Roz with a dare, which leads to an act of total insanity. Drama geeks clamor for attention, Shakespearean insults fly, and Roz steals the show in Lauren Bjorkman’s hilarious debut novel.

Review

This book was pretty good.  It tells the story of two sisters whose relationship falls apart all of a sudden.  The younger sister is on a mission to find out why.  On her quest for answers, she must also tackle other issues that teenagers deal with.  

This was a quick and easy read.  I enjoyed getting to know each of the characters. I read this book in a day and a half.  I was eager to find out what would happen next.  I, like Roz, wanted to know why she and Eva were no longer as close as they use to be.  As I continued reading, I was able to guess the reason before Roz could, but it was still exciting to read and find out that I was right.  This is the second book I have read by this author and I am becoming a fan of her work.

Biography

I grew up on a sailboat, sharing the tiny forecastle with my sister and the sail bags. Against all odds, we are still friends. We started sailing in California and ended in Argentina. My favorite stops along the way were Costa Rica, Panama, Isla Providencia, Key West, the Azores, the Canary Islands, and Brazil.

During our voyages, my sister drew beautiful paper dolls for the both of us.  We sewed amazing wardrobes for our stuffed animals. We became excellent swimmers and beach combers. We made up new lyrics for old songs. Canned food dominated our meals on crossings, so we really appreciated fresh fruit when we came into port. I dreamed of ice cream on the open ocean.

We kept up with school through a program called Calvert out of Maryland.

My dad read to us at night by the light of a kerosene lamp. Since then, I've always loved stories and wanted to write my own.

I live in Taos, New Mexico with my husband, and two sons. We often see coyotes outside our window.
