The story: Emma is afraid Granny Blue will sell their cafe next to the Graveyard. She's also waiting for the Destiny Dream, which comes to girls in their family to point them to their life's most important task. Could it be possible that saving the Boneyard Cafe will be her life's greatest challenge? She could also figure out a way to get Earl Chance to talk...or fix her brother's broken romance...or even just figure out a way to deal with mean girl Beretta Simmons. Just about any of those things would appear to require some kind of magic--but luckily, in this part of Tennessee, there's magic and to spare: enough to help Emma figure out how to become extraordinary.

Liz's comments: I thought this one was charming--but too young for most MS readers, as Emma is just going into 6th grade. Give it girls in grades 4-5.
