Jean, aka Jinx, is the most unlucky person ever to live. Jinx says this about herself: “If I didn’t have bad luck, I wouldn’t
have any luck at all.”
And that only gets worse when she arrives in New York.
After her ex-boyfriend begins stalking her, she moves from her little town in Iowa to New York City to live with her aunt
and uncle. Her cousin, Tory, Jean quickly realizes, is not the same as she was five years ago, when they would climb trees
together and swim in the river. On her first day in New York she sees Tory hanging out with her friends, drinking and doing
drugs.
What Jean doesn’t realize at first is that Tory thinks she’s a witch.
So what was it that made Jean leave her home? What’s up with Tory and this whole “witch” thing?
JINX is Mrs. Cabot’s best paranormal book yet! Jean is so funny, klutzy, and naive that it’s impossible not to love her! I
just could not put this book down after I turned the first page! I was even laughing when I read the first paragraph! Yet
another great book from Meg Cabot, as expected!
