Twelve-year-old Juniper Lynch and her friends, Anne Donovan and Gena Richmond, call themselves the Fortune Tellers Club. For the past two years, they've helped each other using Ouija boards, tarot cards, and other forms of divination. While crystal gazing in a bowl of water, they see the gaunt face of a young girl. The image is that of a missing child, nine-year-old Laurie Simmons. And now the Fortune Tellers Club will stop at nothing, natural or supernatural, to find her. A middle-grade novel that centers on practical fortune telling to solve a mystery and introduces new forms of divination to an age group particularly interested in fortune telling.
