Review Detail

Three middle schoolers get separated after a big fight but then Covid happens and the school goes online. Plus, their lives change so much that they move with their families facing issues like taking care of relatives, divorce of parents and parents taking up a new job in a small town.

The three friends seem to be reluctant to accept their new lives or move on having unfinished business. Then suddenly, with a pinch of magic realism, they start to find fortune tellers everywhere with messages that have exactly what they need to hear.

This book is not just about saving friendships but goes all the way up to community. They get together to save their school from closing for good. They are not the only ones who loved the school and the teachers, recognizing its magic in their lives and they hope more children will experience it. Their love for kindness, and caring for others and the community. I loved that they offered friendship instead of resentment. Also, they know when to apologize leaving pride aside for what it's relevant.

A very sweet, cozy, friendship story that will also please adult readers.
