The Wizard, the Witch, and Two Girls from Jersey by Lisa Papademetriou


I thought this satirical fantasy was cute and fluffy, just what it was probably intended to be. The author also helped write M or F? which I liked. My book club students selected this one to read simply because of the title and front cover. The two main characters, Heather and Veronica, are thrown together into the fantasy world of a novel they are writing a paper on for class. Heather is assumed to be the princess and the two girls play along because they want the wizard to help them get back to their own world. Both girls (of course) learn some lessons and grow up, and, of course, they save the kingdom.
