Third grader Stella breaks a mirror while getting ready for the Somers Elementary School Library Sleepover. Are the "ghosty yellow eyes" in the library and the spooky book that appears on her sleeping bag signs of bad luck? Or are they actually serendipitous? As usual, Stella's enthusiastic narration and Bell's cozy grayscale illustrations produce a lighthearted read with gently delivered lessons.
