Laura is the only one who knows that Sorry is a witch…and he is the only one she thinks can help her in this fraught situation. Enter the Carlisle family who are witches and Sorenson who is a senior (6 former) at Laura’s school. Jacko is targeted by an entity who steals life forces to exist and it is a race against time to overcome and reverse this terrible incident. Laura lives with her mum (Kate) and little brother(Jacko) in New Zealand and they are a tight unit due to the divorce and their limited financial resources. She is often forewarned but not in a clear, helpful way when there are important events that impact on her life. The Changeover is about Laura who is a sensitive to supernatural portents. Yet this wasn’t limited to females, all characters including supernatural ones are well rounded, developed and in some cases fascinating. There were different family units all with strong women providing a home. I remember that I enjoyed it very much, not just for the romance or the supernatural elements but more so for the depiction of people and their interactions. I first read The Changeover when I was in secondary school and regularly read it in my teens.
