Wrapped up in You by Don Jolley-ADVISABLE



Jolley, Don, My Boyfriend is a Monster: Wrapped up in You. Graphic Universe, 2012. Pgs. 125. Language: G, Violence: PG-13, Sexual Content: PG

When Staci Glass gets talked in to doing a séance with her friends and three girls who claim to be witches, she finds herself over her head. An ancient mummy comes back to life as a real boy and the three witches are truly being jerks. They are determined to steal the boy’s powers and become unstoppable and they’re willing to stop at nothing to get what they want. To make matters worse, Staci is developing feelings for the boy. Can she make the right decision before it’s too late?

The illustrations are detailed and vivid in color. The secondary characters are a little one-dimensional, but the main characters, Staci and the boy are well-developed. The plot is fast-moving and intriguing. Readers who like paranormal fiction, graphic novels, and magic will enjoy reading this book. MS.
