Chester and the Magic 8 Ball

Lynn Katz

"An uplifting middle-grade story that meets sadness head-on and cuddles up to what's important in life." -Kirkus Reviews

Twelve-year-old Georgia believes her toothless rescue dog is psychic. With a spin of a Magic 8 Ball, Chester predicts the future with a high degree of probability. He assures Georgia the "outlook is good" for her parents' troubled marriage. He wows her math class by predicting heads or tails with every coin toss. But when the stakes are life or death, Georgia must learn the difference between magic and probability and find her own powers to increase the likelihood of a happy ending.

Chester and the Magic 8 Ball is an empowering story of hope for anyone facing life's unexpected challenges.
