Spellbound

Summary: A very likeable heroine
Review: This is a story about a poor young woman who drops out of high school after she has a baby, but then refuses to give up on the possibility of making something more of her life. Although this subject matter may sound heavy, the novel is a pretty light read and is funny and touching. The characters and dialogue are incredibly well done, and seem quite real. I think most teens and pre-teens would enjoy this novel, and many adults as well. My only complaint with the story is that it is a little predictable, but I enjoyed it enough that I was willing to forgive it for that.

Summary: Khalia's opinion
Review: Thursday, June 12, 2003

I bought this novel about a year and completed it within a matter of hours. Just yesterday, history repeated itself and I don't regret it. Spellbound by Janet McDonald entices you with Raven's endeavor to enrich herself both academically and personally. It saddened me when the book had to end.
