Love

By Fredericks, Mariah

Publishers Summary:
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.
