Review:
Where were books like this when I was growing up? In a way the series reminds me of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in that the main character Rachel learns important life lessons without the story dragging. Little White Magic by Jodie Esch is an excellent read that teaches young girls to never judge a book by its cover - or a boy by his looks. I loved the characters, but I also liked that it was an enjoyable read that had something important to say. I mean, obviously, all young girls (and many older ones) love Twilight, but what message does it give? Little White Magic proves that books written for the YA audience don't have to be brain candy to be enjoyable. I'll definitely be reading more of Jodie Esch and highly recommend her work to anyone that loves young adult fiction.
