Cursed is a super quick mystery for young readers, with a tinge of the paranormal. Eli, a very smart high school boy, finds a mysterious coin when taking a shortcut home from school. Then he starts having strange dreams about the past. Is this coin truly a good luck charm? Read to find out.
This was an enjoyable and easy read. I'm curious to see where the story goes in future installments.

The book was okay. I was disappointed it did not have an ending, so I am guessing this is a series. I would not add it to my library because it is geared more toward middle school rather than high school. It was nicely written. but I am not sure I would want to read any more of the series. I would recommend it for middle schoolers; I think they would enjoy the mystery more. On the basis of offering it to middle school students, I would give it four stars.

A super quick read geared toward the middle school set. This is the first in a new series and tells the story about Eli, a nerd at school with great grades who gets picked on. When he and a friend cut across an old piece of property on their way home, they find a golden coin. And Eli is pretty sure after he takes it home that the coin is actually glowing, although he knows that's impossible. After looking up the history of the town and that piece of land, a story emerges about a train robbery where the money was never seen again. A good story, but super short. This took me all of an hour or so to read.
