My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Clara Voyant is a light read and an enjoyable middle-grade book that narrates the story of Clara Costa, a middle-grade school student from Kensington Middle School who is one of the new staff of the school's Gazette. She dreams of having her own column from the said school newspaper, but their editor Wesley Ferris gave her writing tasks that are not suitable to Clara's taste. The most notable one that Wesley gave her was when she was assigned to write the weekly horoscope section.
Writing the said portion has made people around her to notice that she got the special gift to foresee. Clara's mom wants her to develop her talent, but what I like about Clara is that she is determined to not let anyone dictates wants she wants in life. That is one of the remarkable lessons that kids will learn from reading this book written by Rachelle Delaney; we should pursue our dream because just like what Clara's grandma Elaine always say to her and her mom Gaby, "we're in charge of our own destinies."
