In the Cards series.
Eve has always wanted to be famous. When auditions for the school musical are announced, her friends--and her tarot reading--push her to audition. Eve, a flawed but appealing narrator, appears brassy and bold on the outside, but underneath she harbors insecurities. In this sequel to Love, Fredericks again proves her fluency in the drama and humor of middle school.

In the Cards series.
Thirteen-year-old Anna inherits tarot cards that clearly predict a future romance for her. Or do they? The book focuses on the intense daily dramas of the middle school social scene. Where the cards are not always clear, the story is comfortably predictable. The final chapter promises another reading of the cards with Syd's or Eve's (Anna's best friends) story next.
