Description

Oh baby! A hip heroine discovers that she has the ability to decide who gets pregnant in this witty YA blend of romance and the supernatural from a debut author.

Sixteen-year-old Katla has just moved from Los Angeles to the sticks of Minnesota. As if it werent enough that her trendy fashion sense draws stares, she learns to her horror that shes a member of an ancient order of women who decide to whom certain babies will be born. Add to that Wade, the arrogant football star whom Katla regrettably fooled around with, and Jack, a gorgeous farm boy who initially seems to hate her. Soon Katla is having freaky dreams about a crying infant and learns that, as children, she and Jack shared a near-fatal, possibly mystical experience. Can Katla survive this major life makeover and find a dress for the homecoming dance Drawing from Norse mythology and inspired byThe Snow Queenby Hans Christian Andersen, debut author Wendy Delsol conceives an irreverent, highly entertaining novel about embracing change and the (baby) bumps along the way.

Reviews

Wendy Delsol has the gift of storytelling. The Stork Trilogy drew me in with its highly original plot, humor, and sizzling romance. But what kept me reading was how much Wendy made me care about (and worry for) her characters! I found myself turning pages late into the night, desperate to make sure everything was going to be all right for Katla and her friends.
