About this audiobook
It's not easy being shy - especially when you suddenly find yourself at the center of a widening circle of lovesick boys.
But this is exactly the predicament Juliet Dove ends up in after she receives a strange amulet in Mr. Elive's magic shop. When two wisecracking rats arrive to help her unravel the puzzle of the amulet, Juliet knows that her life has really spun out of control. Unfortunately, once she discovers what's inside the amulet, the stakes get even higher. For she's trapped in an ancient story, and the only way out is through....
Join the Full Cast Family as they romp their way though this dazzling tale of magic, myth, and love run wild. Seasoned with low comedy, high drama, and just a dash of poetry, Juliet Dove is a story you're sure to fall in love with.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it! It's one of my favorites!:)You should read it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was the only book in this series that I had not read previously and I really enjoyed it! I found the effects of the amulet the protagonist acquires to be a bit creepier than I think the author intended, and I wish I could read Juliets mom's comic strip irl.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was not a fan of this story. I listened to the audio version of this book. I found it was a little boring and far fetched, it was hard for me to get through the whole thing. I can see why a young girl would love this book, but it just was not for me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Juliet Dove doesn't have many friends. Although no one at school would believe it, she's painfully shy. So shy, in fact, that she uses sharp words to keep others from paying attention to her (which is how she's earned the nickname "Killer"). One day when running away from two girls at school, Juliet finds herself at the Magic Shop and she's drawn to a beautiful amulet. When the lady at the shop gives it to her, Juliet is surprised, but pleased. But when she puts it on, she discovers something strange happening. First, her best friend Arturo seems to be paying more attention to her looks and he's saying strange things to her. Then she notices all the boys at school seem suddenly smitten with her... Juliet discovers that the locket she's been given was previously owned by Helen of Troy, there's some powerful magic at work in it, and she can't take it off. With the help of a couple of enchanted rats, Juliet must break the spell that the necklace has put on her... before it's too late. I was nonplussed by this book until I got about halfway through and discovered that the plot had a lot to do with gods and goddesses. Then it became a lot more interesting. The full-cast recording is nice, although one of the rats has a very annoying high-pitched voice. I think if I had been reading it, I would have put it down before I got to the good part, I am sorry to say...
