  On a dreary rainy day, siblings Sam and Sally find themselves bored and restless, unable to play outside. Their pet rabbit Mrs. Whiskers watches as the children complain about having nothing to do. Suddenly, mysterious music fills the air, and a magical music box appears in their living room. 
  From the ornate red and gold box emerges a clever orange Fox wearing a purple vest. The Fox promises to chase away their boredom with magical games and tricks. He pulls out a magic wand that makes their furniture dance and float through the air, delighting the children but worrying Mrs. Whiskers. 
  Next, the Fox introduces rainbow paint that supposedly cleans itself up. The children enthusiastically paint the walls with flowers, butterflies, and rainbows, but the magic paint begins dripping everywhere, turning their entire room into a colorful chaos. When the Fox summons dancing brooms and singing mops to clean up, his magic goes haywire, causing the house to become completely topsy-turvy with floating furniture and swirling disorder. 
  Realizing the mess has gotten out of hand, the Fox teaches Sam and Sally how to use magic responsibly. Together, they learn to control the wand and restore their home to its original state just before their parents return. The Fox imparts an important lesson: while fun and imagination are wonderful, responsibility and respect for others' property are equally important. 
  The story concludes with the Fox disappearing back into his music box, leaving the children with newfound wisdom about balancing adventure with accountability.

For the first time, Sonia's mixed heritage makes her classmates ask questions—questions Sonia doesn't always know how to answer—as she navigates between a group of popular girls who want her to try out for the cheerleading squad and other students who aren't part of the "in" crowd. 
   
   
   
  At the same time that Sonia is trying to make new friends, she's dealing with what it means to have an out-of-work parent—it's hard for her family to adjust to their changed circumstances. And then, one day, Sonia's father goes missing. Now Sonia wonders if she ever really knew him. As she begins to look for answers, she must decide what really matters and who her true friends are—and whether her two halves, no matter how different, can make her a whole.
