I could not put this down. I got so caught up in this novella I almost forgot about fixing dinner, in fact, it didn't get started until 7 pm last night. I did not want to stop reading this book.  There is so much action packed into this story it could easily have been a full length novel without any problem.It's Emma's 21st birthday and her lifelong friend since kindergarten, Jason, shows up to show her a good time. He takes her to a circus and introduces her to all his strange friends, friends she never knew he had. They are soon swept into a fantasy world Emma had no idea existed and then they become involved in a quest to locate a Siren who has gone missing. The Siren has been taken because of her capability to brew up a love potion.I must admit, I was drawn to this book because of the cover and the name, Playing Hooky, which to me suggested a promise of fun. There was no disappointment there.The two main characters, Emma and Jason, were so likable and I loved the idea that they each had secret feelings for one another--feelings that Emma felt would only ruin their friendship.I'm giving this novella 5 shining stars because I became so swept up in the action. I do wish it had been longer though, because when I got to the ending I wanted more and I sincerely hope that Ms. Webb continues on with the possible love story of Emma and Jason in a sequel.
