Rush and get yourself a copy! I'm thinking someone should definitely put that list of magical NYCs together. Maggie: And she did! I feel the same way about "Catnyp" that you do.

I’m thinking someone should definitely put that list of magical NYCs together.

Maggie: And she did! I feel the same way about “Catnyp” that you do.

He's sixteen and just fallen in love with a girl playing a witch in the school production of Macbeth, and desperate to keep her from finding out the truth about his family - and he hardly sees his dad, who left because he couldn't deal with the chaos that comes from living with so much magic and oestregen. I fell in love so hard with this book that I photocopied it in its entirety when the library demanded it back... this was back before Amazon Marketplace existed. Thanks for reminding me - I can go get a real copy now!

Starts with Enchanted Inc., continues with Once upon Stilettos and up next is damsel under duress. It's about a chick lit-style "girl in the city" who discovers her most marketable skill is that she's so amazingly ordinary that she's *immune* to magic, and gets a job as a "verifier" at a magic tech company. Fairies and wizards and gargoyles coming to life and frogs in central park that are really princes in disguise and princes that are really frogs in disguise -- very adorable.
