This review is from: Two of a Kind #37: Hocus-pocus (Mass Market Paperback)

It's Halloween, and that means a new, Halloween-themed adventure for Mary-Kate and Ashley. Here is basically the story from each twin's point of view:

Mary-Kate is thrilled! The carnival is in town, and what starts out as a simple trip to the carnival solely for fun, turns into an amazing encounter with a REAL fortune teller! At least, the fortune teller's predictions have been coming true for Mary-Kate. But when the others' predictions don't come true, everyone begins to suspect that Mary-Kate is just being conned.

Ashley has a great idea for the White Oak newspaper: an article about the circus/carnival that is visiting town! Everyone is super-excited about it, too, except for the newspaper's new photographer, Jill. It seems to Ashley that Jill wants nothing to do with the project, and she can't figure out why!

Overall, this story was very predictable. I had figured out the end to Ashley's side of the story just a few pages into it, and the end to Mary-Kate's story just a around the middle of the book. It was still kind of interesting, though. I mainly just read the "Two of a Kind" series for fun, I'm not looking for Newbery material, so I usually enjoy the books no matter how occasionally cheesy or predictable they may be. If you want a school-drama based easy-read, too, or like Mary-Kate and Ashley, then I recommend this book to you!

P.S. I have no idea why they say in the product description that "every decision Mary-Kate makes based on the predictions is destroying her friendships". I think that's very misleading!
