What I Wore to Save the World
Maryrose Wood

Reviewed by Paula Myers

Young Adult Paranormal

It's the summer before Morgan's senior year and all everyone is wondering about is her plan for the future. Everyone has advice for her college and career decisions, but the problem is Morgan's future plans don't go much beyond furthering her relationship with Irish cutie Colin. Her mother schedules Morgan with a college counselor, and to everyone's amazement, Morgan ends up with an invitation to Oxford! While everyone wonders how it's possible the less-than-stellar student gets an invite to tour the campus, Morgan is thrilled because it will bring her closer to Colin. Once in England, though, things start to fall apart.

All too soon, Morgan discovers the faeries have been messing with humans again, and the half-goddess finds herself in the middle of what is shaping up to be a battle between the human and faerie worlds. Now Morgan must struggle with saving the worlds she's a part of or saving her relationship with Colin, who has made clear his opinion of Irish mythology.

WHAT I WORE TO SAVE THE WORLD by Maryrose Wood is a cleverly plotted adventure into an amazing mythological world with a smart, hilarious and somewhat sarcastic teenaged heroine. Morgan not only has to deal with the typical teenaged stresses, but also the excess baggage that goes along with being a half-goddess. This story is filled with an entertaining collection of characters both human and fae. Underlying the entire world domination theme is Morgan's determination to preserve her relationship with Colin. Ms. Wood seems to have an instinctive understanding for what appeals to teenaged readers and WHAT I WORE TO SAVE THE WORLD fits the bill! This is the third of Morgan's adventures, and while it is a stand-alone story, I would recommend reading the first two before reading this one.

SUMMARY

Third in the fabulous series that started with Why I Let My Hair Grow Out

Senior year's coming up fast and Morgan still has no clue about college, or a career-the whole rest of-her-life thing is basically a blank. Maybe it's because she spent her junior year obsessing about Colin, the hot Irish guy she fell for last summer (that was right around the same time she discovered she's a half- goddess from the days of Irish lore... you had to be there). She even saved Colin from a nasty enchantment, but he doesn't know that. Colin doesn't believe in magic, not even a little.

But then a mysterious message reunites her with Colin, who turns out to be caught up in the biggest faery-made disaster ever. We're talking the end of reality-not just reality TV. To save the world, she's going to have to tell Colin the truth about her half-goddess mojo. But if he doesn't believe in magic, how will he ever believe in her?
