Product Description

Review

A.J. McCreary, 17, lives for two things: her photography and her as-yet unrequited love for class hunk Peter Terris. She is mired in a deep, very funny funk when a love-worn but supremely helpful cupid named Jonathan appears and offers her academic, artistic, or romantic success (or at least, her idea of romantic success). As a result of her choice, Peter becomes A.J.'s love toy, nearly sick with his worship of her. When the spell is, as it must be, ultimately reversed, A.J. is dateless again, and revels in it. A.J. is a hilarious, angst-ridden teen, and though readers know from the first moment what's in store for her, it's to Bauer's credit that this wacky ride through adolescent affairs of the heart never grows predictable. Though not as perfectly realized as Squashed! (1992), this is a fine romance, with plenty of hitches. (Kirkus Reviews)


Product Description

Imagine having a personal cupid - an actual winged being - pop into your life and offer to make your dreams come true. Joan Bauer has written a hilarious comedy of manners about art, devotion and romance run wild, just as wacky and wise as her first book, SQUASHED.

4.0 out of 5 stars A witty, entertaining and fast moving novel, 12 Jul 2001
By A Customer
I found this book very witty. I thought that it was well written, with good pace. I liked the style of writing. It is writen in first person and the girl telling the story is likeable with her own fair share of troubles and some to spare, a good main character. 'Thwonk' had an original theme and some interesting characters. Without giving away too much of the plot I can tell you that 'A.J.' (the main character) is suffering from acute teenage traumas ranging from misunderstandings with her family and best friend to problems with her cupid! This is a must read for teenagers verywhere who I feel can sympathise with this poor girl!
