About the book: If there's anything stronger than magic, it's sisterhood.
When they move to a new town after their parents' separation, sisters April, May, and June recover special powers from childhood--powers that come in handy when dealing with the living nightmare that is high school. The powers also help them cope with the hardest year of their lives. But could the magic have a greater purpose?
April, the oldest, can see the future. Middle-child May can literally disappear. And the youngest, June, reads minds. But when April gets a vision of disaster, the girls must come together to save the day or risk falling apart forever.
My thoughts and opinion: I want June's power THE MOST. Reading minds? Way cool. I'll know if my crush likes me back or not. I might not have to ever study for a test anymore. Sigh, powers like that are only in books though.
So, I really liked this book. At first, I was kind of reluctant to read it because whenever I think of superpowers, I think of comic book heroes and geeky stuff. Oh boy, am I glad to have actually forced myself to crack open the book. Within the first few pages, I was instantly hooked. I admire Robin Benway's incredible writing skills and style. This book has April, May, and June's point of view! THREE GIRLS! THREE P.O.Vs! That's brilliant!
This book was unique in that way, too. I like April the most, even if her powers kind of suck. She actually THINKS before doing something stupid like May and June. April & Julian forever! And also May & Henry forever! Poor June is forever alone, but she's too cute and outgoing to be alone for long. There really should be a sequel to this book. I KNOW I would finish the sequel in one sitting.
Their father, however, is a....jerk. I really don't want to swear hahaha. But jerk will do just as well. Why would he even need to take back the T.V? Unless he already has a girlfriend or whatever.
I hate Blake. What did Mariah even SEE in him? He is....another jerk! Blake and Avery can just go die in a hole. Mariah is a bit dumb, too. I mean, there is no possible way you can be crying and drunk AND driving at the same time. Mariah and June are bad choice/decision makers.
But ignore my hatred because The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May, & June is absolutely, without a doubt, an awesome book.
