Bye-Bye, Evil Eye

A summer trip to Greece seems like the perfect chance for thirteen-year-old Dani to spend some time on the beach, help her bookish best friend Kat get her first kiss, and maybe find some summer romance of her own. But when bad luck begins to strike over and over, and continues to strike when she returns to her home in Toronto, Dani starts to wonder if she is cursed. Literally. Kat tells of the "evil eye," and warns that a curse may have been put on Dani by a mysterious girl whose path she crossed in Greece. Dani gets sick, injured, and her family car is vandalized. Is it the "evil eye," or is someone out to get Dani? And what bizarre lengths will Dani go to as she tries to get the curse lifted? Combining the humorous and the sinister, Bye-Bye, Evil Eye is an engaging read from Governor General's Literary Award finalist Deborah Kerbel.
