The Queen of Cool Cecil Castelluci

Libby, ultimate in girl, realizes that her friends are unbelievably boring and her existence is rather vapid. After signing up for an internship at the zoo, she befriends some dorks and freaks and realizes there is more to life than being popular.

Short chapters, a quick and compelling read with good main characters. It speaks volumes to Castelluci's skills that the story doesn't come across as trite or hackneyed, or like a bad after school special. Rather, the story sucks you in and we long for Libby to make the right decisions...

But this one did take me a really long time to read as I kept zoning out or briefly dozing off... just over 2 more hours. I don't know if I'll finish 2 more books in that time but let's see what happens, shall we?

My husband divorced me and went after his ex and left me heart broken for 2 years. I have been playing the lottery for some years before I got married and I have never won any big amount. I continued to play the lottery but I couldn't win more than $500 dollars until I was introduced to Dr Amber that is a strong Haiti spell caster. I had a chat with him via +18084815132 telling him what a mess my life has become. He encouraged and promised to get my man back for me and to help me win the lottery. There were specific instructions that was passed to me by him which I adhered to as he prepared the spell for me that brought back my husband within 36 hours and he gave me some sure numbers to play the lottery game. I used the numbers to play the lottery and I won $10,000,000 million dollars and all this happened within a week after I knew Dr Amber. It doesn't matter what you are going through in life Dr Amber is here to help. Website: amberlottotemple.com
