(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Ava, a chronic worrier, finds a magic pencil that allows her to write a question and hear a disembodied voice reply. Maybe having all the answers is the answer! But the pencil's magic has rules, and Ava eventually learns to calm her fears. Despite some uneven plot and character development, this is an enjoyable, if idealistic, story of friendship and family.
