Tattoo, by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Delacorte Press, 2007)

Four friends – sensible Bailey, fashionable Delia, intellectual Annabelle and tomboy Zo – are granted amazing powers through the application of magical temporary tattoos, and given a deadline – three days – to defeat the dark plans of an ancient evil before it can wreak unimaginable havoc. With pyrokinesis, transmogrification, telepathy and precognition at their disposal, as well as Delia’s keen fashion sense, can the four figure things out in time to save the day, or will the school dance be memorable for all the wrong reasons? Tattoo mixes Greek and Celtic myth to deliver a fast-paced, enjoyable adventure with a believable voice and a likable cast of heroines. I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
