When a neighbor gifts her a mysterious crystal, Jinx's life is invaded by the Adorables, magical creatures who refuse to leave her alone.

Meanwhile, a budding friendship with Robyn, a girl in her building, offers a glimmer of hope. Can Jinx navigate this magical mess and find her way back to joy?

From the publisher

From the creator of Graveyard Shakes, a funny and charmingly offbeat middle-grade graphic novel for fans of The Witch Boy and Making Friends.Nothing has been going right for Jinx. People at school think she’s a goth weirdo, and now her parents are getting divorced. She has to move to an unfamiliar apartment building that doesn’t feel like home – and that doesn’t have her dad. And when a new neighbor gives her a mysterious crystal, her life is turned even more upside down by the Adorables, a mischievous band of magical creatures. They are messy, distracting, and, worst of all, they follow Jinx everywhere. She just wants to be left alone! (Well, maybe she’s okay with getting to know another girl in her building, Robyn, a little better…) Getting rid of the Adorables turns out to be harder than expected, but they might just help Jinx find her way back to happiness.
