Release Date: Feb. 2010Description: When someone leaves three mystery flowers outside her dorm door, Laurel thinks that maybe the Avondale School isn't so awful after all -- until her own body starts to freak out. In the middle of her English presentation on the Victorian Language of Flowers, strange words pop into her head, and her body seems to tingle and hum. Impulsively, Laurel gives the love bouquet she made to demonstrate the language to her spinster English teacher. When that teacher unexpectedly and immediately finds romance, Laurel suspects that something -- something magical -- is up. With her new friend, Kate, she sets out to discover the origins and breadth of her powers by experimenting on herself and others. But she can't seem to find any living experts in the field of flower powers to guide her. And her bouquets don't always do her bidding, especially when it comes to her own crush, Justin. Rumors about Laurel and her flowers fly across campus, and she's soon besieged by requests from girls -- both friends and enemies -- who want their lives magically transformed -- just in time for prom.
My thoughts: I've always been fascinated by the language of flowers, and the idea of turning it into a magical system sounds like it has endless potential for fun. This promises to be a great story! I also really like the cover.

that book sounds really interesting! i would for sure read it.
and i also adore the cover, and i'm so shallow in that sense; when looking for books, the first thing i notice is the cover. i LOVE books that have lovely, creative covers.
A very fresh concept for sure!
O I'm intrigued.
Gorgeous cover.
I can't wait to see what you think.
This sounds like a lot of fun - I'll be waiting for it, too! Looks like it'll be coming out around Valentine's Day.
Magic romance and flowers? Sounds very interesting.
