What do you do when a curse is genetic and comes around puberty? You rebel like a proper teenager would and look for the cure. Which is even more fun when being around the family members who are infected with the curse, which in nice words, turns a kind person into a big grumpy as- jerk.

This book reads for later teens, it's more wordy and written curiously. I found my attention drifting and had to set it aside and return it to the library for a later date. It's not bad, it's more I didn't expect to need to pay so much attention to things written, a single sentence not taken in makes for a confusing page, or minor details make for a dozen questions if you really think on them. Definitely not for little kids unless they're fully invested. ( )

It's a trip to the past to find out the exact wording of the curse that falls upon the daughters of Emma's line should they touch a flower once they reach sixteen. If you've read 'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury, don't worry. Emma, Edric, and Lily don't have to be THAT scrupulous about not changing the past. On the other hand, do enjoy Emma learning how much history can be forgotten or distorted over the centuries. The tournament scene back in the present day is quite exciting, and not for the usual reasons. I did not expect the resolution. ( )

Liked this one. Too long ago to recall much about it, though. ( )
