  A girl with the ability to borrow other people's talents must use her powers to find her own spotlight in a wish-fulfilling middle-grade novel from Mike Thayer, the author of The Double Life of Danny Day. 
   
   
   
  Tiffany Tudwell is cursed. She once tripped over a backpack and fell face-first into a trashcan. She had pink eye on picture day. One time she tried to hold back a sneeze and farted on the cutest boy in class. She longs for the spotlight, but it's safer to stay hidden in the shadows where the curse can't reach her and no one can make fun of her. 
   
   
   
  Until the night two meteors collide over her backyard giving Tiffany the ability to steal people's talents for a day—like stealing mean girl Candace's beautiful singing voice in the middle of play rehearsal, or drawing an incredible self-portrait after borrowing the teacher's pencil. Her power even gets the attention of the most popular boy in school, the smooth-talking Brady Northrup. 
   
   
   
  But her powers can't solve everything—or can they? When a local philanthropist announces a fundraiser contest, Tiffany, with Brady's help, decides to use her powers to save her dad's failing planetarium. And maybe discover her own talent along the way . . .

Since then, the three best friends have been working for Mr. William Taters, the owner of that very funhouse, renamed The Delta Game, and completing every challenging escape room they can.

Unfortunately, their plan quickly goes awry. Secrets threaten their friend group, nothing in the house is as it seems, and this time, not everyone is playing fair . . .
