Tour - Curse Busters (review)

 Curse Busters by Julie Smith

Budding-psychic Reeno is the most accomplished teenage burglar in California, but one tiny screw-up and poof!—she's sentenced to Bad Girl School. And that isn’t even her worst problem. Her sister Haley’s dying of an illness no one can diagnose, and now she can’t even help.
But wait, maybe she can! The school psychics have found each other and formed their own club. With the help of her gay friend Carlos and the other Ozone Rangers, Reeno finds out Haley’s disease is the result of an ancient Mayan curse. And A.B., the group's sinister non-faculty adviser, claims he knows how to break it.
All Reeno has to do is time-travel to an ancient Mayan city and steal a little item A.B. needs to save the world. Since she’s an ace thief, he has complete confidence she can execute the task before the outraged Mayans can execute her.
But can she trust A.B.? Despite his cuddly appearance, she knows he’s a merciless predator and ruthless assassin.
And he's not even human.

My Review:
I thoroughly enjoyed that cute and quirky quick read by Julie Smith, the characters were relate able and enjoyable. Reeno has a lot of bad issues and things happen throughout this book which I feel makes it more relate able than most of the books where everything is just perfect through the entire story.

This story does have a lot of deeper issues in it, and some that can catch you off guard, but all in all the storyline of these teens and everything they go through and grow through is excellent. A great read for Middle Grade and Younger YA enthusiasts or all YA enthusiasts as long as they remember its written for a younger audience.
