Sixteen-year-old Katla LeBlanc has just moved from Los Angeles to Minnesota. As if it weren’t enough that her trendy fashion sense draws stares, Katla soon finds out that she’s a Stork, a member of a mysterious order of women tasked with a very unique duty. But Katla’s biggest challenge may be finding her flock at a new school. Between being ignored by Wade, the arrogant jock she stupidly fooled around with, and constantly arguing with gorgeous farm boy and editor-in-chief Jack, Katla is relieved when her assignment as the school paper’s fashion columnist brings with it some much-needed friendship. But as Homecoming approaches, Katla uncovers a shocking secret about her past — a secret that binds her fate to Jack’s in a way neither could have ever anticipated. With a nod to Hans Christian Andersen and inspired by Norse lore, Wendy Delsol’s debut novel introduces a hip and witty heroine who finds herself tail-feathers deep in small-town life.

Ugh, that is a lousy description of the book, but the best one I could find. Oh well. Anyhow, this was a fun read and I rather enjoyed it. I really am not a fan of the cover, but the writing is solid and the characters a lot of fun. I did find myself wondering if the author had ever actually lived in Cali with some of her references (seriously, we're not all like that), but that's okay. Some of the "powers" that Kat gets I found to be somewhat creepy, but I was engaged enough to keep reading. I will definitely be picking up the next book!
