Description

For young readers who grew up with the bestselling picture books, Nancy Clancy is now starring in her own chapter books!

Nancy thinks she may be able to read the future...and all signs point to her being a true clairvoyant (thats fancy for a fortune-teller).

Nancy tries her hand at fortune-telling but quickly learns it’s a bit more complicated than she thought. Does Nancy really have special powers, or is it all just a coincidence?

Perfect for growing fans of Fancy Nancy picture books, the chapter book series continues the fun. Other books in the chapter book series include Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth and Nancy Clancy, Secret Admirer.


  • Third Grade Adventures: From the school playground to her own clubhouse, Nancy’s quest to become a professional fortune-teller leads to hilarious and unexpected situations.
  • A Fun Friendship Story: When Nancy’s new “powers” cause a disagreement with her best friend, Bree, she has to figure out what’s more important than being right.
  • Learning New Words: Kids will love expanding their vocabulary as Nancy explains fancy words like “clairvoyant” and “intuition” throughout the story.
  • Problem Solving for Kids: Follow along as Nancy uses tutoring to help a friend change the future and learns an important lesson about telling the truth.

About the author(s)

Jane O’Connor was born and raised in the fabulous metropolis of New York City. That’s where she still lives with her husband, Jim, although both their grown sons did something unfathomable (that means impossible to understand). They moved to the West Coast! Besides writing the Fancy Nancy series and other books for children, Jane spent her whole career as an editor at major publishing houses. Recently retired, she finds herself with something she never had before—free time to do whatever she pleases.

Robin Preiss Glasser has illustrated many acclaimed picture books, including the bestselling Fancy Nancy series, Lambslide, Escape Goat, and Grand Jeté and Me: A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids. She won the Children’s Choice Award for Best Illustrator of the Year for Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet. Robin actually wore tiaras and tutus when she danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet. Now she happily spends her days in jeans, drawing. Robin and her family live in Southern California.
