Near the end of 6th grade, Emma and her BFFs retreated to a special place in the woods for their chance at getting their wishes granted. Unfortunately for Emma, her new nextdoor neighbor almost ruins everything. When 7th grade starts, Emma’s friends show signs of their wishes being granted - but where are Emma’s wishes? Could Jackson have stolen them? Emma needs to know - not just so that she can reclaim her wishes, but because her fourth wish could be a catastrophe for Jackson’s family. The pair will have to cooperate in order to avert disaster, and their deadline is fast approaching.
Painter has entered middle grade fiction with a cute non-romantic fantasy. The plot is a little complicated (I bookmarked Emma’s wishes to help me follow along), but lots of fun.
SPOILER: I like that the pair are friends - not romantically entangled.
The characters are white.
