Stoop Sale Treasure
Hand-Me-Down Magic
Author: Corey Ann Haydu

Del loves LOTS of things! Like helping out at the Curious Cousins Secondhand Shoppe. Ginormous family dinners in their apartments upstairs. And, of course, her best-friend-cousin Alma.
Alma loves her abuelita’s tasty empanadas. Lavender lemonade. Her old home by the lake. And while she’s nervous about moving in, she might just love living in the same place as her best-friend-cousin Del.
Yet despite having Del by her side, Alma isn’t quite sure she fits in with their family at 86 ½ Twenty-Third Avenue. When Del finds a special item at a neighbor’s stoop sale, the day begins to shine extra lucky for her. But she doesn’t see that everything is falling apart for Alma, even as it drives the two girls apart. Will family, friendship, and maybe a little everyday magic, be enough to make things right again?
