When five fourteen-year-old girls get their fortunes from an arcade machine just for kicks, it turns their world upside-down and their close-knit group of friends starts to fall apart.<br /><br />Misunderstandings abound as allegiances shift and outsiders start to come between them. The fortunes seem to be self-fulfilling prophecies - whether the girls believe in them or not.<br /><br />Do our beliefs color our perception of the world? Do we ever see ourselves the way others see us, and why is change so hard?<br /><br />Budding romance, angry bees, teenage fashion influencers, and parents who just don&#39;t get it make Barbara Venkataraman&#39;s &#39;Five Fortunes&#39; a fun story you won&#39;t soon forget.
