Tris and Izzie is now out!
To celebrate, I'm linking to a vlog of me talking about "Are You My Romantic Partner?"
Also, here is a nice review of Tris and Izzie from Booklist:
After an opening involving contemporary teen issues such as high-school pecking orders, best friends, and young love, Harrison’s latest takes a surprisingly satisfying turn into fantasy. Izzie’s mother is a witch, and when Izzie tries to use her mother’s love potion on her best friend, she accidentally administers it to both herself and the school’s handsome new hunk. In short order, it turns out that the new high-school hunk is also magic, Izzie herself is a sorceress, and the monsters in the magic world are out to get her in our nonmagic one. As to the best friend and Izzie’s once-perfect ex-boyfriend? Their roles in this are both plot advancing and thought provoking because Harrison’s ethical and moral questions reach to even the smaller characters (as do snarling two-headed dogs and stinking giants). There are a few bumps of incredulity in the behaviors of adults here, but overall this works well as a riff on the magic of romance. Francisca Goldsmith
