SuitabookLove Stinks!
Nancy E. Krulik
- Reading
- Read together in short stretches, pausing to notice how the magical switch changes Katie’s role and what follows from her choices.
- Themes
- A magical change and its consequences: Katie changes into a candy-shop owner and writes her own messages on the personalised hearts, disrupting the school’s Valentine’s celebrations. The switcheroo provides the comic story mechanism for connecting Katie’s choices with the effects on the celebrations.
- Worth knowing
- Valentine’s Day enthusiasm and personalised love messages are central to the plot; consider whether that sort of school celebration feels familiar or awkward for your reader.
