One of the best things about having parents who own a candy store is
getting to be an official taste-tester. When her dad brings home Magical
Glow-in-the-Dark Chewing Gum, Stella can't wait to try it out -
especially since her younger sister is already blowing bubbles and
making magic-gum wishes that come true. Except the gum seems to bring
Stella bad luck. First she can't even blow a bubble, and then she falls
asleep chewing a piece of gum that ends up wadded in her hair, resulting
in a drastic haircut. And now her best friend, Willa, announces she's
moving clear across the country! It's hard to believe in any kind of
magic when stuff like this happens. But Stella knows that when the going
gets tough, the tough get going - and that's exactly what she plans to
do.
