Review by Booklist Review

Can Nancy Clancy predict the future? If JoJo hadn't dropped her Magic 8 ball, it might be able to tell her. But when Nancy foresees several occurrences (Dad will bring pizza for dinner, for instance), she is convinced she has a special gift. And so wearing her neighbor's fortune-teller-like flowy clothes and dangly earrings (clip-ons, alas), Nancy sets up shop in the school playground to offer her services at 25 cents a pop. Unfortunately, her visions become a little cloudy. The third title in the winning Nancy Clancy mystery series, this is another energetic offering full of fancy words like boudoir and it will have huge appeal to budding sleuths.--Kelley, Ann Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review

When Nancy makes a few correct predictions, she decides she's a fortuneteller. For a quarter a pop, she answers questions at recess; Nancy predicts Clara, a notoriously bad speller, will fail her spelling test. How can Nancy undo her upsetting prophecy? This charming chapter book features engaging, sympathetic characters and is accompanied by Glasser's always-appealing curlicue-heavy line drawings. (c) Copyright 2014.
