Inexplicable things are happening in Miranda’s life. There’s her best friend, Sal, who’s suddenly no longer her best friend. There’s the kid who throws punches for no particular reason. And then there are the strange notes—the ones that seem to predict the future. It’s not that Miranda doesn’t like mysteries—and it’s not that she doesn’t want to be a hero, like the protagonist in her favorite book, A Wrinkle in Time – but it’s hard to sort out all the mysterious goings-on when you’re already trying to survive sixth grade and help your mom win big on The $20,000 Pyramid. What’s a girl to do? You’re sure to keep turning pages until you solve that mystery for yourself.
