Zoe is a teenage witch with a few problems. She's in love with her best friend's boyfriend. She can't use self-serving magic, even if it would make life a lot easier. And she really needs to find a substitute for toad slime, because it's expensive and really, really gross. Zoe presents us with a smart, sometimes sassy, heroine who wants to make everyone happy. It's hard to make sure she gets her own happy ending, though. Full of humor, this is a story that will leave a reader feeling satisfied with the outcome and wondering what zany adventure Zoe has coming next.
I didn't know until I had finished this that it is the second book featuring Zoe as a narrator. I found myself wishing for more explanation of Zoe's magical world, and how it interacts with the realities of being a modern teen. I'll definitely get my hands on the first book, and I eagerly await the third.
