Loved the next two books as well!!!!  Can't wait to share them with everyone.

All the Answers by Kate Messner- Ava Anderson is scared, scared to take tests, scared to try out for jazz band, scared to do anything. But with the help of her friend Sophie, Ava gets by. Suddenly one day everything changes when a simple blue pencil found in a desk drawer at home begins to answer any question Ava asks. Magically, it helps her pass her tests, it provides the latest gossip of who likes who at school, it even gives her an answer to which family member is very sick and in need of immediate help. Does knowing all the answers make a person happy or just add to Ava’s fears? For a fantasy, this book feels realistic. Grades three and up will connect with Ava, Sophie and Ava’s family.
