Crystal Ball Fortunes

Alma and Del are ready to celebrate a fabulous birthday party, but instead must find their courage when a crystal ball reveals bad fortunes ahead. This second installment of the Hand-Me-Down Magic chapter book series by critically acclaimed author Corey Ann Haydu and illustrator Luisa Uribe is brimming with adorable illustrations and easy-to-read chapters, perfect for emerging readers!

Alma’s birthday gift for Del was supposed to be delightful and daring—just like Del. Her present was a magical crystal ball, and it worked, too! All of Del’s predictions for her party guests were coming true.

But when Alma looks into the ball to read Del’s future, she sees something frightening. Del is certain Alma has given her a bad luck fortune and that it will spell DISASTER for her.

Del doesn’t feel like the brave cousin anymore. Which means it’s up to Alma to help Del face her fear—and her crystal ball fortune—with her best-friend-cousin right by her side.
