Old Magic

Old Magic is by Marianne Curley. When Kate and Jarrod see each other for the first time at school the connection is undeniable. Everyone thinks Jarrod is a clumsy freak and everyone shuns Kate because they believe she and her grandmother are witches. Kate believes Jarrod has magical abilities as well, but when she confronts him he acts like she's a nut. As time goes on Kate comes to believe Jarrod's problems are the result of an ancient curse; one that can only be broken if he returns through time to stop the evil magician who cursed his family. Together Kate and Jarrod travel through time to break a centuries old curse. A unique and fascinating tale told from both Kate's and Jarrod's point of view.

Ratings: 8th grade - 9 out of 10.
