As high school students, we have all felt at some point or another that sense of insignificance and invisibility that comes with the uncertainties of new surroundings, new people, new everything. In Rhymes with Witches, Jane is the figure that everything surrounds, even though she believes herself to embody that invisibility. The book is divided into 3 parts: beg, speak, and roll over. To get the popularity and the attention that Jane wishes for, she must become a part of this untouchable group, she has to be willing to do anything, and she believes she is. Throw in a strange cat, a little bit of theft, and some uncanny connections and you have the end result of this book. As quoted in the mini author bio at the end of the book, "There's a price to pay for turning into someone new. There always is." This book tempts the unnatural limits and unfortunately, I found it a little difficult to relate to as well as keep my attention. I would suggest this book for a quick easy read, maybe during a long drive. Rating: 3Q, 3P
