Hearts and Other Body Parts

This chapter book blends fantasy, mystery, and a touch of high school romance as three witch sisters navigate social dynamics and a supernatural threat. When a charming new student, Zack, arrives, he quickly becomes the object of affection, but his allure hides a sinister secret. It's up to one of the sisters, Esme, and the unusually observant Norman, to unravel the mystery of disappearing students before it's too late. Parents should be aware of themes of mild peril and disappearances, suitable for the older end of the 8-11 age range.

There are two new boys at Middleton High: Norman, who is eight-feet-tall and looks like he was put together after an accident, and Zack, the impossibly handsome transfer from Europe, and soon the three witch sisters, Esme, Katy, and Ronnie, are in an all out competition for Zack's attention--but Esme is also drawn to Norman, and he is the only one who seems to notice that students who go off alone with Zack seem to suffer from amnesia, or disappear entirely.
