Age 12+
Comic Strip Fiction / Graphic Novels
Wrapped Up in You aims its wooden stake/silver bullet/pitchfork at the heart of the paranormal romance YA readers love, giving insight into real-world relationships everyone could use, and with True Love for its horror-story roots.
Staci Glass feels cursed-whenever there's a crisis, she's stuck in the middle. Now her best friend, Faith, has a new hobby, and against her better judgment, Staci conjures up the courage to go along. They join a trio of wannabe witches for a magical ceremony in an lncan history exhibit. Their chanting is loud enough to raise the dead, it seems. Why else would a shriveled-up mummy go missing-and a mysterious Peruvian prince suddenly appear?., Prince Pachacutec-or ""Chuck""-is a man with a past. He died tragically five hundred years ago, but that's all ancient history as far as Staci is concerned. He is everything she could want-kind, charming, and drop-dead gorgeous. But the witches aren't willing to live and let live. Will Staci fight for Chuck? Or do the witches have a point when they say reanimated corpses make bad boyfriends?
