Explanation Concering 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." Stirring Up Trouble is a Young Adult Romance.Rating Of Books Stirring Up Trouble (Stirring Up Trouble Trilogy #1)

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 descriptionAdorabe 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.
More like 4.5 stars! Just so you know (because I didnt when I read it), this is the first book in a series. I download a lot of freebies and they tend to be one of a series, so Ive probably got at least 12 storylines leaving me hanging right now waiting on the next books! I was sooo not looking for another one when I started this book. I have to say though, I am not sorry I read it and yes, I am very much looking forward to the next edition.The best way to describe this book is GREAT FUN! Ms.
A very cute read that kept me engaged enough that I would read a sequel, but definitely a book that was lacking in a few key areas. What I was most looking forward to was some world-building, as the book pretty clearly leaps into a simple, but interesting notion of magical give and take at the start, but very little gets fleshed out over the course of the book. Where did the Council come from, for instance? We know that magic is often genetic, but how much of a community is there? What type of
Zoe Miller isn't your typical teenager. Teen Witch, yes. Bad, no. Zoe uses her powers with potions to do good in the world and she wants to become a doctor when she grows up. She enjoys experimenting to find cures and substitutions for dead man's toe or frog slime. But Zoe has her typical teenage problems too. Like her dad suddenly getting involved with the mother of the boy she's been crushing on for years, but Jake was dating her best friend Anya so he was off limits until Anya broke up with
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
If you're looking for a fun, young romance for a teenage girl to read (or if you yourself want to wax nostalgic), this is it! I'll tell you upfront, there's a lot of teenage kissing and a little bit of hand-wandering. Other than that, clean clean clean. Perfect for ages 13 and up. Zoe is the magical daughter of a magical mom and a scientific dad. They're divorced. Zoe has one magical friend, Milo, and regular friends Anya, Jake (who used to date Anya), and Camille. The book centers on Zoe
