Fate answers seventeen-year-old Destiny's wish ("Just one day, where the world is fair") with a pink convertible, a pet lamb, and three classmate companions. The friends' adventures, fraught with chance and coincidence, culminate in a climactic meeting with Destiny's family. Pearson's strong novel about the difficult business of growing up is tinged with mystery and just a touch of fantasy.
