Jinx by Meg Cabot


SYNOPSIS:  Jean has always been unlucky, so unlucky, in fact, her family all call her "Jinx."  So she's not surprised at all when she has to move in with her uncle and aunt to escape a troubled past in Iowa.  While in New York, however, she realizes things aren't always as they seem, and her bad luck may actually be something good in disguise.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  I checked this out on audiobook because I thought the plot might have potential.  However, it was pretty typical Cabot, in that there was a simplistic, predictable storyline, with colloquial storytelling, and some crude jokes and sexual references.  There was also some language, and references to drug use, and occult practices.  I don't think I'd recommend this one.

AUDIENCE:  Young Adults

RATING:  PG13 for Sexual References, Language, and Drug References

STARS:  1
