Curses, Inc. and Other Stories

Vivian Vande Velde

A spell that gets you land, money, long golden hair, or a date to the prom can't be a curse, can it? A curse just gets you dead. Or does it?. . . In these ten stunning short stories, boys and girls learn firsthand just what magic spells, enchantments, and curses really can do. "Give this one to readers who are ready for some sophisticated tales of the supernatural." --Booklist
