This book wasa too simplistic, even for a young adult book. The idea was good, but the author could have gone farther and done better. Good enough for me to finish, not good enough to have me looking for more by this author.

Cute book, but a little too short! It just skimmed the surface of the characters when I would have liked to read into their personalities in a little more detail. The end left many questions unanswered...

This is according to Yvonne, descended from Gypsies, and one of a coven of three white witches in Kelly Easton’s new young adult novel White Magic: spells to hold you, a book i picked up on a whim.
Some of Yvonne’s other rules:
You are not allowed to use drugs. Drugs are like running a race on broken legs and not knowing it.
You are not allowed to smoke, because (Yvonne) can’t stand the smell of cigarettes. (She) made her dad quit too. It was very hard on him.

Chrissie loved Vermont. She loved everything about it. The quiet woods, her goat Wilbur, her best friend Jason, and the way she and her father bonded over everything. After her father dies, her mother moves them to California, which Chrissie hates exactly as much as she loved Vermont—which is to say, a lot. There is absolutely nothing at all about California that she likes—until she meets Yvonne and Karen.
Yvonne is half Gypsy, half German, and all witch. She believes in the powe More...

As my third bingo book, I read White Magic: Spells to Hold You . This book is about three girls who are each going through struggles in their lives. Chrissie is a girl who has just moved from Vermont to L.A. after her father had died. To make matters more complicated, Chrissie’s mom has just become engaged to a new man who tries to win Chrissie’s love with material items. Soon she meets two new girls, Yvonne and Karen, who are in a witch coven. These two girls only use their “powers” for good an

PLEASE do not read this book.
It was horrible, no plot at all, no climax whatsoever. The characters in the book were incredibly dull and hardly showed any signs of maturity by the end of the book. I wished that the author could have further explored these characters and perhaps written in a clearer direction as it had too many little problems happening at the same time. It was a good idea and everything, but could have been executed much better.

I thought this book was just OK. I did like that it was a realistic book about witchcraft although I felt the spells and such in the book were hokey and immature. As a Wiccan I felt it made Wicca look like a game and that the book didn't take it seriously enough. All of the characters in the book seemed to have Mommy issues too, whatever point was being made wasn't strong enough. Like I said, it was just OK....

I did like this one very much because it didn't always make sense to me. I also didn't like the ending at all.

on page 15 this book is all about magic and things you can do with things you mix up into one thing.

What really enchanged me was the cover. Great blend of colors, but of course I don't mean to be like that...
It was kind of a short novel, but very insightful. There seemed to be a lot of meaning between the words.
I like the way the author changed the perspectives, that is indeed a hard thing to do.

Chrissie moves from VT to CA and has a hard time adjusting. Then she meets and becomes friends with two other girls who claim to be white witches. Alternates perspectives between 3 girl characters, with a slow pace and an interesting combination of realism and magic.

Too much going on in here--too many problems. The "magic" element is really no more than a distraction.

This book was half bad, half good. The story was alright, but I didn't really enjoy it that much.
