Abby Carnelia's Magical Power

by David Pogue

One day, Abby Carnelia, ordinary sixth grader, realizes she has a magical power. Okay, it's not a fancy one: she can make a hard-boiled egg spin by tugging on her ears. But it's the only one she has, and it's enough to launch her into an adventure where she meets a host of kids with similarly silly powers, becomes a potential guinea pig for a drug company, and hatches a daring plan for escape.

Kids will be dying to unearth their own magical powers after reading this whimsical debut by tech personality David Pogue.
