Brooklyn Sparks is invisible, she is also a witch. Her
overprotective parents bound her powers when she was a baby.
They promised that on her sixteenth birthday, they would
release them, but cautions her to be very careful using
them.
Brooklyn has always felt invisible in life. She had never
had any friends and is so average looking that everyone
seems to look past her. She is desperate for popularity,
for friends, for a life a meaning. Now that she had her
powers, she can make that happen. Her one goal. . . to
become part of the exclusive Elite. The Elite are five
popular and beautiful and rule the school. Everyone wants to
be friends with them and wants to be them.
Once Brooklyn's powers are unbound, she gives herself a
makeover. She goes from invisible to the entire student body
to known to everyone. Asher, whom she has had a crush on
forever is talking to her, not to mention a fellow witch.
And the Elite is asking her to do some pretty questionable
things, but if Brooklyn wants to be popular she has to pay
the price.
We follow Brooklyn through a rash of bad decisions where she
is easily swayed by her so called Elite friends to do their
bidding. She lies to the people she really cares about just
to serve her new so called friends. Her relationship with
Asher becomes strained by all the lies. When Brooklyn
finally does see the Elite for what they are, when they
steal student files to use against them, and to pursue their
own gain, does she finally stand up for herself and others.
She finally sees what is important and what she should be
doing with her new popularity.
In Brittany Geragotelis's WHAT THE SPELL, Brooklyn sounds
like your typical teenager. She can be whiny and needy and
selfish, but she can also stand up for what she believes in
and what is right. This is a great read!
A teenage witch juggles popularity and romance while keeping
her powers a secret in this spellbinding debut.
Almost-sixteen-year-old Brooklyn feels invisible, but she
desperately wants to be pretty, to be popular, to be adored
by a cute guy. Luckily for her, she’s a witch about to come
of age—so she’s only a few spells away from making it all
happen.
On her milestone birthday, Brooklyn’s conservative parents
finally unbind her powers, which include the ability to
magically match couples with a love spell. Brooklyn uses her
special skills to get a makeover, new friends, and the
attention of her crush, Asher. But the popular clique
Brooklyn wants to infiltrate puts her in the same precarious
position as her Salem ancestors: If she’s found out, she
could be vilified—and lose Asher in the process. Can she
make the most of her magic, or will she be luckless and
loveless? Be careful what you witch for!
