(4) 4-6 Spellbound: Head over Heels series. Illustrated by Mina Price. Four short books follow high-school drummer Lola (depicted in the full-color illustrations as African American) as she experiences the titular firsts. Each story is divided into four chapters; the simple, first-person text is printed in a large font, with important words emphasized using playful fonts. Too squeaky-clean for high schoolers, perhaps this hi-lo series will find an audience among struggling preteen readers looking for light romance. Review covers these Spellbound: Head over Heels titles: First Dance, First Date, First Fight, and First Kiss.
