Summary: Different, comical teen romance
Comment: A.J. McCreary, ace photographer, has only two problems: her father's refusal to acknowledge her talent and her unrequited adoration of hunky, popular Peter Terris, foxiest of the foxy guys and boyfriend of evilly beautiful Julia Hart. Suddenly, A.J.'s life is invaded by a tiny cupid named Jonathan, armed with magical arrows, sarcasm, and help for the cosmically confused. Will A.J. learn to look beyond appearances? Or will she be content to "date royalty", no matter his personality?
After reading typical teen romances, this is a refreshing change of pace. The story is told with the kind of irony and humor that Joan Bauer is known for, and girls will easily sypathzize with the confused, lost A.J. and her search for truth through photography and true love. I reccomend any book by Joan Bauer(Squashed, Rules of the Road) for teenage girls, and even older ones(my mom loves her books).

Summary: Thwonk
Comment: Allison Jean McCreary or A.J. as her friends call her, is a senior. She has a talent for photography and is dying to go to art school. She is artistic and has a great imagination. But, on the other hand she is obsessed with Peter Terris, a guy from school, and she has liked him for five months. Then all of the sudden a cupid shows up and offers A.J. one wish. This one wish can help A.J. in only one way: artistically, academically, or romantically. She has to pick one of these things. Would she want to go to art school and have a great career in photography, or will she choose the love of her life, Peter? She knows that she should concentrate on going to a top-quality school, but of course, A.J. picks...
I thought this book was really good and interesting. I liked it because it was not boring and it was like the life of a teenager, even though, you know that a real cupid cannot really come into your life. But overall I thought this book was very exciting and well written.

Summary: Wishes can help and hurt!
Comment: Thwonk by Joan Bauer is a good book for teens who enjoy reading about fantasies in romances. A. J. is a teen photographer who has enough talent to get into top art schools, but she is also interested in Peter Terris, a popular high school guy. She stumbles upon a cupid named Johnathan. He helps her through obstacles and gives her one wish. She wishes that Peter would fall in love with her. Johnathan gives her the wish and now Peter is obsessed with her. A. J. is about ready to give up her wish and now Johnathan is gone. She does not know what to do. Joan Bauer is a writer who understands what teens go through. I give this book five stars because I could connect with the character, A. J., and the situations that she goes through.
