    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!
