Chronicle Conducive To Books Stirring Up Trouble (Stirring Up Trouble Trilogy #1)
"A seriously entertaining read." --Livin' Life Through Books "I had a big smile on my face the entire time I was reading it." --Author Karen Hall "Don't start this book late at night because you will not be able to put it down until you have finished it." --Mermaid from Tennessee Zoe Miller is a 15-year-old witch with a talent for potions. She's working hard to find a substitute for toad slime. Since fat-free margarine has been found to be a substitute for dead man's toe, she's hopeful that she'll find one. Then there's all the so-called normal stuff. Like high school, her annoyingly selfish "friend" Anya, and her crush on Anya's ex-boyfriend Jake. Now, Zoe's dad is dating Jake's mom, and things are getting more and more complicated. If only Zoe could brew a potion or two and set everything straight. Zoe can't. If she brews a self-serving potion, bad things will happen to her appearance. Like a crooked nose, giant wart, green skin, rotting teeth--the whole ugly witch stereotype. Zoe's tired of fate interfering so cruelly in her life. Can you really blame her for putting her potions to not-so-good use and stirring up trouble? ****************************************Excerpt: "Should we leave?" I whispered to Jake to distract him. "No," he said, leaning closer to me. Suddenly, he didn't seem as stressed but more like his old self. "I think I should kiss you." "What? No!" Oh my God! "Why not?" he asked in a low voice that sent shivers through me. I made myself look at him as I whispered, "Because you don't want to kiss me, you just want to bother Anya. And she's my best friend." "Right," he said, backing away. "I guess we shouldn't then." Of course, I'd really hoped that he would say that he did want to kiss me and not only to bother Anya. "Would it help that it would also drive our parents nuts?" Hmmm. "Let me think for a minute," I said. It would really mess with Dad's head. And that excuse would be good enough for Anya. I already had a major crush. How much worse could it get? Glancing at Anya and quickly judging how dark the theater was, I said, "Okay."

For my full review, please check out our blog! http://mysistersbookshelf.com/elizabe...I thought this book was great! I especially love Zoes mom. Their relationship is awesome. Dont get me wrong, I absolutely adore Zoe too. Anyway, Zoe has been in love with Jake for the longest time, so when he wants to pretend to date her to teach their parents a lesson, whats a girl to do? Youd think being witch would help things, but it seems to complicate in unforseen ways too. Anyway, the best descriptionCute characters and story!
Seriously cute YA book with some teenage angst, some romance, and a little magic thrown in.
Adorabe read for a teenagerThis was one of those cute stories about a likeable teen who has that high maintenance best friend, a crush on a guy who finally notices her as more than a friend, a cute, nerdy boy friend, but with a little twist. She's a witch, and when she uses her magic for personal gain, she pays a price for it. Literally.
Really fun young adult book.
YA paranormal chick lit with witches and magic potionsFifteen-year-old Zoe and her mother are witches living in Knoxville, Tennessee. They are descended from a lineage of alchemists who were granted the gift of making magical potions from the ancient Greek god, Zeus. Unlike her mother and grandmother, who have no particular talent or interest in making potions, Zoe is a potions prodigy. Not only can she concoct classic, time-tested potions, but she experiments and develops new twists. Her magnum
STIRRING UP TROUBLE is YA at its best. It was charming, lacked vulgarity, major sexual situations and had a great story line. I loved that Alexander wrote a story that focuses on friendships and relationships of teens in a new and interesting way. The books highlights choices and consequences in a fun way and whimsical way...mix a spell that is self serving...bad things can happen. I just loved that!! As a mother, I also loved that Alexander created a story that focused on a positive parent
