Twist My Charm: The Popularity Spell was a fun story. Cleo and her dad are starting over in California. It has been ten years since her mom died and it seems dad has a new friend, that Cleo is not happy with. Not only is she dealing with the possibility of her father and a new girlfriend, but Cleo is having issues at school. She is relatively new to her school and has one good friend, Samantha. Unfortunately, she is the target of teasing and bullying from the most popular girl in her class, Madison. For her birthday, she receives a Voodoo doll from her uncle. It is the Positive Happy Voodoo Doll - The Voodoo Doll Who Will Make Your Life Better. Cleo and Samantha figure out a way to use the doll to become popular at the expense of others, but things don't turn out the way they planned. This is a great book for young girls as there are a lot of topics that came up in this story: true friends, first impressions, teasing, popularity and its cost, and magic. I liked how Cleo grows and changes throughout this story and how she works out some of her issues with the help of her friends and her father. I recommend this one and will look out for others in this series to keep on hand to read with my grandchildren.
