Playing With Fire
Fortune
Tellers Club, No. 2
By Dotti Endele
Anne
Donovan has a crush on the new boy in school -- but is he a little
too hot for her? It seems anyone who spends too much time around
Eric feels the heat -- fires, fever blisters, and just plain fevers.
The Fortune Tellers Club sets out to discover if Eric wields some
kind of paranormal power over fire and their final cure for the
problem is laugh out loud funny. Enderle does a good job of laying
out the clues in Playing with Fire, the second book of the Fortune
Tellers series, and keeps readers guessing right up to the end.
It isn't a deep book filled with life lessons but it is lively and
page turning with plenty of tension to keep fans hooked to the very
end. I also appreciated the way Enderle avoided the "what has
gone before" recap that becomes a wearying part of several
popular middle grade series -- this is a book that can stand and
be enjoyed alone.
