Synopsis
Juliet Dove is a shy middle schooler who snaps out sharp remarks whenever people notice her. Lured into Mr. Elives' shop, she is handed a crystal amulet that will not come off. She soon realizes that she is trapped in a story and can only be free by finishing it. The charm makes boys fall for her, and a crowd of them starts to follow her everywhere. With the help of two talking rats, friends of the shop's owner, Juliet learns that the amulet came from Eris, the goddess of discord, and that Eris may be planning trouble far beyond one girl's embarrassment.
