Flamingnet.com Top Choice Book-entertaining plot makes this a captivating book, February 25, 2010
This review is from: What I Wore to Save the World (Mass Market Paperback)
Morgan needs to figure out what she's going to do with her
life, and fast! Her senior year is coming up and she has
nothing planned out. She doesn't know where to go to
college or what she wants to do with her life. She should
have spent time figuring out what to do last summer, but
that's when she vacationed in Ireland, fell in love with
Colin, a cute Irish boy, and discovered she is a half-
goddess. One day, a mysterious note brings Morgan and
Colin together again. When she's with Colin, Morgan
realizes that she has to save the entire world. She knows
she has to tell Colin the truth about her, now, but will
he ever believe her if he doesn't believe in magic?
What I Wore To Save The World is a book that gets you hooked
from the very beginning. It is a exciting book because it
makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next.
Maryrose Wood is a creative writer and used a entertaining plot to make this a captivating book.
What I Wore To Save
The World is a story with a combination of magic and
romance. I would recommend this book to any romance-lovers
or anyone who likes anything about magic.

Just fabulous, January 5, 2010
This review is from: What I Wore to Save the World (Mass Market Paperback)
Summer's starting, and senior year's approaching fast--too fast for Morgan's comfort. Her parents are breathing down her neck to get started on her college and career decisions. The problem is, Morgan has no idea what she wants for the rest of her life, aside from the fact she'd rather it include Irish hottie Colin. When a mysterious message and strange circumstances reunite the two, Morgan is absolutely thrilled--until she finds out that faeries have been messing with Colin again. This problem gives rise to even more: Colin isn't the only human the faeries have been messing around with because the veil between the two worlds is slipping, it's Morgan's job to fix this problem, and Colin's rejection of Irish mythology is making is really difficult for Morgan to either enjoy her time with Colin or get a head start on the saving the world part. As the world as Morgan knows it threatens to fall apart, this half-goddess will have to find within her the strength to do the right thing because her relationship with Colin, not to mention the fate of the whole world, depend on it.
What I Wore to Save the World is yet another addicting mythical adventure to follow up Morgan's previous episodes in Why I Let My Hair Grow Out and How I Found the Perfect Dress. The creative and pretty amazing cover art is just a precursor to the unique and fantastical tale that immediately follows. Even though readers have already been introduced to the faery realm in this novel's prequels, the plot in this story remains original with the addition of several quirky and mysterious characters. Morgan's attitude is just as sarcastic and undoubtedly hilarious as ever, which makes reading about her adventures all the more interesting and fun. Seriously, I don't think there's one dull moment in this novel with its abundance of humor, interesting characters and places, and, of course, mythical obstacles to overcome. In addition to all this mischief, though, I appreciated how there was also an emphasis on Morgan and Colin's relationship and how the existence of that perky faery world was such an impediment to them. Although the outcome of this story, regarding Morgan's quest to save the world and her relationship with Colin, is pretty predictable, it doesn't make reading it any less fun and enjoyable.
Fan of Why I Let My Hair Grow Out and How I Found the Perfect Dress, both by Maryrose Wood, will not want to miss this fantastic novel. I suspect What I Wore to Save the World will be the final installment of Morgan's mythical adventures, unless there's some astonishing surprise in store, but I look forward to reading more from Wood.

A Fun Series For Teens!, January 5, 2010
This review is from: What I Wore to Save the World (Mass Market Paperback)
Senior year's coming up fast and Morgan still has no clue about college, or a career-the whole rest of-her-life thing is basically a blank. Maybe it's because she spent her junior year obsessing about Colin, the hot Irish guy she fell for last summer (that was right around the same time she discovered she's a half- goddess from the days of Irish lore... you had to be there). She even saved Colin from a nasty enchantment, but he doesn't know that. Colin doesn't believe in magic, not even a little.
But then a mysterious message reunites her with Colin, who turns out to be caught up in the biggest fairy-made disaster ever. We're talking the end of reality-not just reality TV. To save the world, she's going to have to tell Colin the truth about her half-goddess mojo. But if he doesn't believe in magic, how will he ever believe in her?
This series is just one of those that is always fun to read. The third book in the series has a little bit of a different vibe to it, I can't pinpoint it but it just felt a little different (make sense?) But anyway, just as good!
My favorite is still the first book so if you haven't started the series be sure and start with Why I Let My Hair Grow Out where you first meet Morgan and really get to know her!
There are more secrets revealed about Morgan and her half-goddess self in this installment so you won't want to miss it! Morgan has kept her mortal and fairy worlds seperate until now...but with evil queen Titania's new diabolical scheme things are getting tricky!
The girls at my middle school love this series and the books are usually on hold and rarely on the shelf! I think the series would also do well in a high school library :o)
Visit the author's website to find out more about this series and a new series she has coming out in 2010! [...].
