Alosha by Christopher Pike
Review by Paige
Ali is a normal 13 yr. old girl until she goes to the woods to stop the lumberjacks from cutting down trees, and she ends up running into trolls. She's earning powers!!! My favorite character is Farble because he is a troll who doesn't talk much. I like this book because it is supernatural.

Kyle's life is perfect and he was most likely going to be Homecoming King. Then one day a "weird ugly" girl is at school but no one knows who she is and he decides to play a trick on her and asks her to the dance. They decide to meet at the dance and then he brings someone else and she leaves. After the dance, she is in his room and it turns out she is a witch and then she turns him into a beast.
