All the Answers by Kate Messner

I like this mostly realistic fiction with a touch of magic book. Ava finds a pencil that gives her all the answers, or so she thinks. It answers all the "easy" questions like what is the formula to find the circumference of a circle, however it doesn't tell her intangible answers like who the first boy her best friend will kiss or if her parents will get a divorce. Ava also suffers from anxiety so asking some of these questions make her want to ask more and more questions. Ones that she may not like the answer to.
All in all I'd say Ava and her story are relatable even if she had to use a "magic" pencil to find some answers for herself. I'd definitely recommend it to 8-12 year olds who like realistic fiction and don't mind a little bit of magic too.
