Ever since the fateful visions about Jeffrey Johnson, Celia Cleary's prophecies have focused on smaller things like minor mishaps and everyday inconveniences. It's finally starting to feel like she has a handle on her powers...until things take a turn for the weird.
One day at school, Celia's notebook magically fills in with a single name written over and over: Patrick. She uses the family guidebook to investigate and learns that the mysterious Patrick is connected to a Doomsday Prophecy—a vision that involves a large group of people, a point of no return, and a terrible future. The target for this particular reckoning? The entire eighth grade.
Celia soon finds herself in a race against the clock to figure out which Patrick at their school is at the heart of the coming disaster. As the shifting sands of luck turn against her, she'll need Grammy's voice and the help of friends more than ever. But even with their efforts combined, can they prevent the doomsday?

Celia, a middle school seer, has to save a classmate who has too much good luck. Who wouldn't want bountiful luck? But is it really the blessing it seems? While giving readers that conundrum to ponder, Reintgen sends his eighth grade clairvoyant, already in a whirl of sharply felt grief and fumbling new romance in the wake of events in The Problem With Prophecies (2022), a new flurry of ominous visions centered around a suddenly astounding, magnetic, dazzling basketball phenom named Patrick. He's been eating lucky cookies, it turns out--so many that the spell has become strong enough to siphon good luck from those around him...and if left unchecked, it will not only leave a growing circle of people luckless for the rest of their lives, but victimize Patrick too, since he'll never know for sure whether anything he gets or does is due to his own capabilities. How, though, to break a spell that can by its very nature make any effort to counter it go wrong? Fortunately, Celia has the example of her wise, much-missed Grammy to draw on as well as loyal allies, both among her racially diverse, nonmagical schoolmates and the variously gifted members (all women, the men being still conspicuously absent) of the White Cleary clan, to help her get to and through a wildly revved up climax. A knotty, high-stakes premise leading to an ingenious solution, with snogging and spellcasting on the way. (Fantasy. 10-13)COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
