![]() ![]() Oh, we’ve seen you walking with Arturo, said Bambi knowingly. I don’t have a boyfriend, she said softly. Why couldn’t Bambi Quilp just leave her alone? Why couldn’t everyone just leave her alone? Juliet Dove felt her cheeks begin to burn. I think if I had been reading it, I would have put it down before I got to the good part, I am sorry to say. ![]() The full-cast recording is nice, although one of the rats has a very annoying high-pitched voice. I was nonplussed by this book until I got about halfway through and discovered that the plot had a lot to do with gods and goddesses. With the help of a couple of enchanted rats, Juliet must break the spell that the necklace has put on her. Juliet discovers that the locket she's been given was previously owned by Helen of Troy, there's some powerful magic at work in it, and she can't take it off. Then she notices all the boys at school seem suddenly smitten with her. First, her best friend Arturo seems to be paying more attention to her looks and he's saying strange things to her. ![]() ![]() But when she puts it on, she discovers something strange happening. When the lady at the shop gives it to her, Juliet is surprised, but pleased. One day when running away from two girls at school, Juliet finds herself at the Magic Shop and she's drawn to a beautiful amulet. So shy, in fact, that she uses sharp words to keep others from paying attention to her (which is how she's earned the nickname "Killer"). Although no one at school would believe it, she's painfully shy. ![]()
