Mystical High is a landscape for the unexpected. Jessie and Jinxsy (great name) are endearing and believable. Two teenagers, well-portrayed and endearing due to their raw energy and endearing confusion, find a bond that is strengthened by their individual battles as well as the unexpected and odd occurrences around them. The characters come to life immediately, the dialogue is strong (quick-moving) and the story is dynamic. I remember watching Eerie Indiana as a kid, remember being obsessed with the Twilight Zone, and this book brought back the fun and mystery; more, it brought back that sense of innocent curiosity that I had, quite honestly, forgotten about.
