<p> Equal parts fresh, funny, and engaging, The Karma Club is the story of one girl's attempt to speed Karma along only to discover that Karma plays by its own rules. Jessica Brody has created a witty, endearing heroine in Maddy Kasparkova--this is one YA debut you won't want to miss! --Alyson Noel, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Evermore and Blue Moon <p> This book takes the drive and social focus of Legally Blonde 's Elle Woods and mashes it up with My Name is Earl 's Karma. The Karma Club is a cute, hilarious and heart-warming look into the difference between Karma that looks like revenge and the Karma of pay it forward. -- Justine magazine<p> All the fun and intrigue of Gossip Girl, with the heart of a Sarah Dessen novel and the soul of the I Ching. --Gabrielle Zevin, author of Elsewhere and Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac <p> The thing is, you can't just order up some karma when another person does something wrong. You have to live your life well and just trust that the universe will reorder and reconcile other's misdeeds. When Madison tries to take karma into her own hands, the universe laughs softly and turns the tables on her, which leads to a series of unfortunate events in her life. Lesson learned in this fun summer read. -- Kiwi magazine<p> A very entertaining read filled with friendship, girls kicking butt, and taking a break from boys. I love books with girls taking charge - and this one fits the bill perfectly. -- TeensReadToo.com, reviewed by Jennifer Rummel, FIVE STAR review<p> Written with wit and panache. Readers will have fun with this one, and it might make them think a little, too. -- Booklist <p> It's a well-paced comedy, with a nice balance of cinematic physical humor and genuine teen emotions. -- Publishers Weekly <p> The action-packed narrative builds an impressive amount of suspense for what is essentially a comic romance, and readers might learn a thing or two about Buddhist philosophy along the way. --
