When B.J. Pinkerton discovers she has ESP, she decides to go into the fortune-telling business. B.J. pursues her talent feverishly. Not one person in her family is left untouched by her dubious powers. Even Willie, her dog, is enrolled in the Happy Kennels Obedience School, and flunks. She has become a jinx and a bother. "There'll be no more hocus-pocus in this house," Mom says. An end to ESP for B.J.? She's just getting warmed up!
B.J.—along with her uncommon family—provides young readers with a truly funny story.
