Anna, Banana, and the Magic Show Mix-Up

Anna and her friends are putting on a magic show!

When Justin dazzles his classmates with a mysterious, magical card trick, Anna, Sadie, and Isabel are determined to figure out how it’s done. They set out for the best place to find answers—the library!—ready to learn every trick in the book. If they can perfect their acts in time (with Banana’s help, of course), they can put on a show of their own at the neighborhood potluck party.

But the tricks aren’t as easy as they look, even with instructions. And with Anna still determined to figure out Justin’s secret as the big show approaches, things are getting more and more mixed up. Can Anna perform some magic and get the mix-ups under control before—presto—it’s showtime?

I didn’t look at Justin during the science experiments, or pay him any attention during geography, either. But by the time we went outside for recess, my curiosity was so hot, I thought it might boil over. It was finally time to see the trick!

Sadie, Isabel, and I ran to the merry-go-round. Its flat surface would be good for spreading out playing cards. “Justin! Over here!” Sadie called.

Justin walked up to us and swept one arm through the air dramatically. “Behold!” he said. “Prepare to be shocked and amazed!”
