Camilla Otterlei and Tiril Valeur (ill.)
The fortune-telling cup

Can you predict the future to save a friend in
need?

Simone has been looking forward to the spring fair with
carousels and cotton candy. In the fortune-telling cup the
fortuneteller foresees that great secrets will be revealed.
Simone and her friends laugh it off, but doubts arise when
they discover that the fortune-telling cup is left behind when
the fair moves on. Soon one surprise replaces the other.
What is Peter planning? Why is Leah even grumpier than
usual? And what’s with all the white envelopes piling up in her
mailbox?
The fortune-telling cup is a charming story filled with fortunetelling, family ties and friendship – and how to help a friend
whose world is turned upside down!
