Bookroo's summary
Alma gifts Del a magical crystal ball for her birthday, and it seems to work perfectly—until Alma sees a terrifying vision of Del's future. Convinced she's cursed with bad luck, Del loses her courage. Now, Alma must help her best-friend-cousin confront the ominous fortune and rediscover her bravery. Will they unravel the mystery of the crystal ball before disaster strikes?
From the publisher
The best-friend-cousins at 861/2 Twenty-Third Avenue are back for a party! With adorable illustrations and short, easy-to-read chapters, this second installment in the Hand-Me-Down Magic series is perfect for fans of Ivy and Bean and Dory Fantasmagory. 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. Suddenly, 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.–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
