2014 Reading: A Gift of Magic

Should have been called "Stubborn 12-year-old Brat Selfishly Tries To Ruin Everyone's Lives With Her Weird Psychic Powers."

Seriously.

Throughout the entire book, I wanted to smack this little girl in the face. I understand that to some extent, a person of such a young age can be somewhat emotionally unstable, especially in the face of divorce and big life changes, but come on! This girl was a nightmare. She thought of nothing but her own happiness and actively tried to ruin the lives of her family just so that she could have them all to herself with no one else to interfere.

And can we talk for one second about the poor choice of covers they have for this book?

Nancy, the psycho main character of this book is LITERALLY described:

"Her wheat-colored hair hung straight 
down her back, and her brows and mouth were 
straight lines across her face with her nose a 
straight line down its center. She was twelve 
years old, but her body was still as thin as an 
arrow." (p 4)

Now keep that in mind as you look at this picture:


No.

Who was in charge of this? 

You had ONE JOB!
