In the Cards Books

Geek Girl gets Greek God. That's the latest on Zoe's World, a website that Eberly High's eighth-grade girls check out daily. Only Anna, Eve, and Syd know that the cards -- the mysterious tarot deck Mrs. Rosemont left Anna, along with a psycho cat, Mouli -- are responsible. Or, at least, may be responsible...if you believe in that kind of thing. At first Anna doesn't believe. How can ten little cards foretell the future? But when Declan Kelso, the school's newest hottie, starts looking her way, the future starts looking really good. What, besides fate, could persuade Mr. Cool to join the chorus's gaggle of geeks? But have the girls read the cards correctly? Or have Anna's hopes and fears led her to misinterpret the cards' true meaning? What happens makes for a funny, suspenseful story, the first in a series of three told by Anna, Eve, and Syd, three very different girls who discover that life is never as neatly laid out as you want it to be.

Do you have what it takes to be a star? Eve thinks she does. But the school musical is not what she has in mind. Eve doesn't do auditions, particularly not for Mr. Courtney, the music teacher, who's not a big fan of hers. However, when the tarot cards reveal that the musical may be the first step to the mega-stardom she dreams of, Eve decides to go for it. A powerful King of Cups stands ready to help her, if only she can figure out who he is. Not even drama queen Eve is prepared for the gossip, intrigue, and backstabbing of the theater. School star Alexa Roth is sure she'll get the lead -- but can Eve steal the spotlight from the diva? She's got help. Syd on piano will help her rehearse. Anna will be there as stage manager. Everything's looking good, except... In book two of the In the Cards trilogy, there are a lot of "except"s -- some funny, some surprising. All dramatic. Just like Eve. Can she win over Mr. Courtney with her powerful voice? Can she keep Anna away from her goofy ex-boyfriend, Declan? Can the promise of the cards be trusted? Will the real King of Cups stand up, please? Before Eve freaks.

Syd, who is much more comfortable with animals than people, asks her friends for a tarot reading, then fears the dire predictions are coming true as her parents fight, her aging cat suffers, and her friendships are tested.
