      Molly Discovers Magic (Then Wants to Un-discover It) - Megan Atwood

      Cover

      Dear Molly, Dear Olive

      Molly and Olive are best friends — best friends who’ve never met! Two years ago, in second grade, they signed up for a cross-country Pen Pal Club. Their friendship was instant.

      Molly and Olive send each other letters and email. They send postcards, notes, and little gifts too. Molly lives in New York City with her mom and younger brother. Olive lives on a farm near Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, with her parents. The girls’ lives are very different from one another. But Molly and Olive understand each other better than anyone.

      Chapter 1

      Magic Powers

      Dear Olive,

      How are you? I am MAGICAL.

      I don’t remember getting struck by lightning. Or getting bitten by anything. I didn’t open any books of magic spells. But two days ago, everything I thought about came true.

      On Monday, I dreamed about cupcakes. They were chocolate, with the best frosting ever. Guess what? Tuesday someone brought cupcakes to class! They looked EXACTLY like the ones I dreamed about.

      Then, after school, the sun was so bright it hurt my eyes. I wished for rain. TWO HOURS LATER it rained.

      I didn’t do my homework last night. I knew I was going to be in trouble this morning. But before I could tell my mom, she came into my room. She said, School’s closed because of a gas leak.

      Can you believe that?

      So there you have it. I am now a magical person. However I got this magical power, I know I have to be careful. Being a magical person comes with a lot of responsibility, I think.

      Maybe when I get the hang of this, I can wish for things for you too!

      Your best friend,

      Molly

      I folded my letter to Olive and sealed the envelope. I got out the book of stamps. Only one stamp left. Perfect. Magic!

      My little brother, Damien, ran into my room and slid across the floor. He jumped and landed with a bounce on my bed. First of all, he’s not supposed to be in my room. Second, Mom doesn’t allow jumping on the beds.

      Get out of my room, I
