The Magic Shades (Fortune Tellers Club) While rummaging through a resale shop, wisecracking tomboy Gena snatches up an enticing pair of mirrored cat-eye sunglasses. The other members of the Fortune Tellers Club don’t exactly share Gena’s enthusiasm for her new shades. They like them even less when they discover they are windows to the future, through which Gena can see things like answers to her science test.
Customer Review: A Quick Moving Mystery
This book is about three very close friends: Juniper, Gena, and Anne. They are the Fortune Tellers Club. Gena find a pair of cat-eye sunglasses in a thrift store and believes they can predict the future! Gina’s friends laugh at her, but not for long. This is a well-written book, full of suspense. I wanted to keep reading and never put it down. It was a funny book at times, and serious at others. The story line was a little bit young. I would recommend this book to most kids who are ages seven to ten. The story moves quickly, and the characters have enough depth for teens to say “that’s me,” or “that’s just like so-and-so.” The interplay among the girls is excellent. One of the characters is dealing with a dad who wants to date again. Something today’s kids can relate to. The author projects excellent imagery and its wholesome, fun reading. Kids at every age can use a reminder about the importance (and rules) of friendship. For those squeemish about mystical arts, it’s an opportunity to talk with your kids and keep the ‘evil’ in perspective.
Customer Review: Book 3 In The Fortune Tellers Club Series
The Magic Shades is book 3 of the Fortune Tellers Club series and is told from the perspective of Gena Richmond. Gena is a tomboy who plays volleyball, and the jokester of the group. It’s hard for her to take anything seriously! However, when she picks up a pair of cat-eye sunglasses in a thrift store and sees the future, she doesn’t find anything funny about it! Will the woman in the thrift shop fall off a ladder? Will Anne become blind? Is her Dad’s girlfriend snooping through her things? Gena becomes obsessed with the information she receives via the special sunglasses–but is she really seeing clearly?
The Fortune Tellers Club is a delightful series by professional storyteller Dotti Enderle. This series, geared towards ages 9-12, features three best friends–Juniper Lynch, Anne Donovan, and Gena Richmond–who use divination to solve mysteries, explain relationships, and understand life experiences.
Great suspense, true-to-life characters, and fine storytelling are all to be found in Book 3. This series just keeps getting better and better!
