BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE


Celia has saved Jeffrey’s life but at the cost of her beloved grandmother’s life. As she is coming to grips with her new powers of prophecy, she runs into a whole new level of problem - a doomsday curse.  If she can’t identify the center of the curse, the caster, and the receiver, her entire 8th-grade class could be doomed with bad luck forever. 


Celia is such a fun main character and Reintgen is so good at plotting an interesting story. I love Celia’s faith in her friends and her willingness to listen and learn. While I marked the first book in the series only for elementary school, I am going to start recommending the whole thing for middle school too.
