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.
