Description:
"Come
on, my dear," the strangely dressed woman urged. At that moment,
Patti knew she should have let her curiosity get the best of her.
Patti
Eldridge has been depressed ever since her best friend, Mark Prescott,
moved away. So when the spring carnival comes to Odyssey, Patti's
parents are they they've found just the thing to cheer her.
But
when the rides don't appeal to her and the hall of mirrors seems dull,
Patti wanders off... and into Madam Clara's fortune-telling tent.
She's certain her mother and father wouldn't approve, but what harm
could it do? After all, she doesn't have to believe a thing the woman
tells her, right?
Patti
wins a prize at the shooting gallery just as Madam Clara said she
would. But then bizarre things start happening - like the
fortune-teller showing up at Whit's End and the brakes on her parents'
car mysteriously going out. If only she had told her parents the whole
story! Then she'd know whose words she can trust - theirs and God's.

to the nature of the subject matter, this book may not be suitable for
