Lost Girl

Desperation over a lost retainer brings the Fortune Teller's Club together for an emergency meeting. Twelve-year-old friends Juniper, Anne, and Gena formed the club two years ago when they realized they each have a psychic gift using tarot cards, ESP, and a Magic 8-Ball to find lost objects and predict the future. When their usual methods fail, the friends turn to scrying in water to find answers. Instead of finding Gena's lost retainer, however, they see the face of a missing girl. Author Dotti Enderle begins the Fortune Tellers Club with a captivating tale of paranormal proportions. Friends Juniper, Anne and Gena are uniquely realized characters with fascinating gifts. Author Enderle understands young adult's fascination with all things paranormal, seamlessly blending the supernatural with the mundane in this fast paced tale. Young readers seeking a different kind of read will find THE LOST GIRL incredibly satisfying. THE LOST GIRL comes very highly recommended.

The minute you start reading this engrossing and lively story of three girls who combine the comaraderie of the Babystitter's Club with the excitement of the Nancy Drew mysteries, you realize this is no ordinary book for girls.

Dotti Enderle has done an excellent job with her first installment of The Fortune Tellers Club. It is both a mystery and a story of friends working together. The three club members are "real" girls, not Nancy Drew knock-offs, and that makes the mystery more interesting. I can't wait for the next book!

This is a great book for young girls to read. It is a magical adventure that starts out with Juniper, Gena and Anne looking for an everyday item and they end up in a life and death race against time. The characters are realistic and could be the girls next door. The reader is able to identify with what is going on in their lives. And the climax keeps you on the edge of your seat with a satisfying conclusion. Enderle has a real winner here and I can't wait to read her next book in the series!
