Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This delectably dark pair of novels, first in the Sweep series, brings a supernatural spin to classic teen issuesApopularity, romance, alienation and the search for self. Narrator Morgan, a high school junior in upstate New York, feels plain and ordinary, especially next to her flirty, drop-dead-gorgeous friend Bree. When Cal, a remarkably poised and handsome senior, transfers to their school, Morgan likes him almost immediately, an attraction she hides when Bree announces that she plans to win him for herself. Cal makes no secret of his belief in Wicca, inviting most of the junior and senior classes to join him in a Wiccan celebration. The rituals powerfully affect MorganAcould it be that she, like Cal, is a "blood witch" (a descendant of one of the seven great witch clans)? But how could she be a blood witch when everyone else in her family is so clearly not "magickal"? While Tiernan's ingredients are familiar, she stirs the cauldron with engaging, even cinematic, prose and sharply individuates her characters. She introduces the Wiccan material with some depth as well as with a skillful degree of ambiguity; readers will not know immediately whether or not the series embraces Wicca. Both books end on cliffhangers (Shadows, for example, closes as Cal kisses Morgan, in full view of Bree and the rest of their newly formed coven), fanning what will surely be an already keen desire to learn the whole story. Ages 12-up. (Jan.)

From Booklist

Gr. 8-12. Morgan has never been someone people noticed, until an exciting new senior, Cal, enrolls in her high school. Cal reveals that he and his mother are Wiccans (witches), and Morgan, who seems unusually sensitive to natural energies and adept at "magick," becomes the focus of his attention. Could she be a blood witch, a member of one of the Seven Great Clans? This is largely an unexceptional high-school romance (first in a series) that spends inordinate amounts of time describing what the well-dressed teenage witch is wearing this season. More objective portrayals of the characters would have been desirable, too, (one future coven member is described as a "stuck-up JAP"), but this does have some information on Wiccan culture and presents it in a less sensational manner than many contemporary books and media (think Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Libraries that select this series, however, may want to be prepared for the possibility of challenges. Catherine Andronik

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Jan 15 2008

By	TeensReadToo.com "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sweep 01 Book Of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)

Morgan Rowlands is a normal teenage girl. She gets good grades, hangs out with her friends, and goes to church with her family on Sundays. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens to her... until she meets Cal Blaire.

Cal is the new cute senior who has just transferred to Widow's Vale High. His looks aren't the only thing that sets him apart from other boys. He's Wiccan, a different religion than Morgan and one that she has never come into contact with before.

Something about Cal and his religion interests Morgan and her best friends, Bree and Robbie. The more they hang out with Cal, the more they like him. While with Cal, Morgan learns something about herself that completely blows her mind -- and may change her life forever.

This book was fun to read. The story was great and you learn a thing or two about Wicca as you read it (it's not scary!). BOOK OF SHADOWS is the first of 14 books, plus a super edition novel, so this is only the start of Morgan and Cal's adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars And they kept coming, Jun 27 2004

By	"little_miss_dolphin8" (NZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sweep 01 Book Of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked up this book as i was interested in wicca and magick and saw that this was exactly wat this book was about. I took it home, began reading and WHOOO i could not stop!!! I was all half the night reading, every morning and every night. that only lasted a couple of days, as i soon finished it. i felt very sad about that, but then, i looked on the internet, and WOW!!! THERES MORE!!! i read and read and read them, until i had read them all, infact i just finished #15, Nights Child about 1/2 an hour ago, and now i am very sad.

This book is really a great one, and anyone who doesnt think so obviously is dumb. I have now gotten my christian friends into them. Who ever thought they would be interested in reading them?? not me, thats for sure, but now, theyre hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended to Parents who cant get their daughters to read, Jun 15 2004

By	El Brujo "Brujo Hechisero" (Lowell, Ma) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Sweep 01 Book Of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)

I purchased the Sweep series for my 13 year old daughter in the hopes that maybe she would read. "She hated to read." Well I was amazed, and could not get her to go to sleep, as she would spend the whole night, with a night-light on reading these books. She enjoyed them so much, and could not stop talking first about Cal and then Hunter, that I had to see what all the fuss was about.
Well after two weeks, a book a day, for a girl who hated to read, it sparked my curiosity, so I started reading, and was surprised to find out how enjoyable a Teen book about Teen Witches could be. I am not really into Wicca, but these books are really enjoyable. I am on my fifth book, and my daughter read each twice, and is know on the Circle of Three Series. I have to highly recommend these books to those parents who can not get their daughters to read. These are excellent stories, full of fantasy, horror, and fun.
