Illustrated by
Adjoa J. Burrowes.
Destiny is an avid reader who loves to hang out at Mrs. Wade's bookstore on Tuesdays and Saturdays. When she learns that the store might have to close she sets the wheels in motion to raise money to save the store. Though the collage illustrations lack fluid construction, the multicultural neighborhood is appealing. An open-ended conclusion gives credibility to the story.
