Review: A Very Cute Novella
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a very cute novella.  Moon has written a piece that many young adults are sure to enjoy, as will many adults.  When I first picked up this novella, I wasn't sure exactly what I thought about a fortune telling bellybutton--bellybuttons gross me out, truth be told--but Moon has written a very intriguing story surrounding this strange fortune telling ability, and Zan was an easily lovable character. He's kind of a cooky narrator, but he tells it like it is, allowing the reader to rummage around in his mind as he attempts to woo Austin, maintain his best friend status with Julie and James, stay away from two crazy witches intent on stealing his powers, and deal with everyday teenage angst.  I really enjoyed the male perspective; male leads seem to be a dying breed among novels these days, and Moon did a superb job capturing Zan and presenting him extremely well.  Overall, Moon did a really good job with this novella, and I'm definitely interested to see where the series goes.(Please note: I use the star rating system of Goodreads, which is different from Amazon.  Overall, my rating is that I liked this novella.)
