When you mess with Karma, "Personally, I’m tired of waiting for the universe to get off its butt and start fixing stuff. I don’t want to wait around for Mason to get what’s coming to him. Or Heather Campbell, for that matter . . . I want to be there to see it happen." Madison Kasparkova always thought she understood how Karma works. It’s that mysterious, powerful force that brings harmony to the universe. You know—do good things and you will be rewarded, do something bad and Karma will make sure you get what’s coming to you. A sort of cosmic balancing act. But when Mason Brooks, Maddy’s boyfriend of two years, gets caught tongue-wrestling with Miss Perfect Body Heather Campbell, and absolutely nothing happens to either of them—except that they wind up the hot new couple of Colonial High School, it seems like Karma has officially left Maddy in the lurch. That’s why Maddy and her best friends, Angie and Jade, decide to start the Karma Club—a secret, members-only organization whose sole purpose is to clean up the messes that the universe has been leaving behind. Whether they’re modifying Heather Campbell’s acne cream as part of “Operation Butterface,” or righting a few wrongs when it comes to Angie and Jade’s own slimy exes, they know they’re just doing what Karma should have done in the first place. They’re taking care of one another. Sometimes, though, it isn’t wise to meddle with the universe. Because it turns out, when you mess with Karma, Karma messes back. Now Maddy must find a way to balance her life for good, even as everything around her seems to be toppling to the ground. Listen to the Karma Club Theme Song!
THE KARMA CLUB
Praise for The Karma Club: “Equal parts fresh, funny, and engaging, THE KARMA CLUB is the story of one girl’s attempt to speed karma along only to discover that karma plays by its own rules. Jessica Brody has created a witty, endearing, heroine in Maddy Kasparkova—this is one YA debut you won’t want to miss!” “Jessica Brody effortlessly (and humorously) weaves an age-old concept into an entertaining modern-day story."" "Written with wit and panache. Readers will have fun with this one, and it might make them think a little, too." "This fun, fast-paced read will bring a smile to the face of anyone who has dealt with high school’s ups and downs, and will make them think before they meddle with fortune." "A well-paced comedy, with a nice balance of cinematic physical humor and genuine teen emotions." "The action-packed narrative builds an impressive amount of suspense for what is essentially a comic romance, and readers might learn a thing or two about Buddhist philosophy along the way." "A very entertaining read filled with friendship, girls kicking butt, and taking a break from boys. I love books with girls taking charge - and this one fits the bill perfectly." "Fun summer read!" "Jessica Brody may have started a movement, a positive one." "I couldn’t put the book down...The author’s wording wasn’t at all fake or cheesy and the plot was amazing...Jessica Brody is an excellent writer." "The Karma Club is exactly the book you’d want to read after getting dumped. With an effortless understanding of the teen landscape, Jessica Brody takes the classic tale of “what goes around, comes around” and crafts a fresh, funny, relatable story that proves it’s never too late to admit your mistakes and set karma back on its natural course." “All the fun and intrigue of Gossip Girl with the heart of a Sarah Dessen novel and the soul of the I Ching. ” "A fulfilling, thought provoking read, The Karma Club is a solid young adult novel by Jessica Brody that will make anyone (young adult or not) stop and think." "The Karma Club is a sweet, fun, and meaningful novel. Brody's protagonist, Madison, is charming, smart, and is easily imaginable as a modern teen." "There's a great message in The Karma Club, but it is cloaked in fun and not seriousness, thank goodness. Honestly, I read this book in about two and half hours, that is how great it was. I read this and set it down with a smile and proceeded to tweet about how much I enjoyed it. The Karma Club is absolutely a book I recommend." "Overall, I really enjoyed this one. For her young adult debut, Jessica Brody did a fantastic job and I can’t wait to read more from her! I definitely recommend The Karma Club to anybody in the mood for something light and funny! " "The Karma Club was a very fast fun read. If you are planning a Summer day of reading in the hammock this would be a great choice!" "I LOVED The Karma Club! [It] did have some serious and inspirational aspects to it, but overall it was a witty, entertaining, and overall well done YA debut. With memorable characters and a fantastic, well orchestrated plot, this is one of my favorite reads of 2010! Definitely go pick up a copy today!" "A fulfilling, thought provoking read, The Karma Club is a solid young adult novel by Jessica Brody that will make anyone (young adult or not) stop and think."
