Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel March 2024: Put a Spell on You features the book OGRE ENCHANTED by Gail Carson Levine.

Industrious Evie is at her happiest performing diagnosis and filling out prescriptions. Her work as a healer means everything to her, so when her best friend unexpectedly proposes marriage, she tries to let him down kindly.

But her lack of romantic sensibility is an outrage to the meddlesome fairy, Lucinda. To teach the girl a lesson, Evie is transformed into an ogre—tasked to accept a proposal or remain as such for the rest of her days.
