From the creators of Lily and the Night Creatures comes another “emotionally resonant and empathetic” (Kirkus Reviews) illustrated middle grade novel filled with magic and granted wishes—perfect for fans of The Beast and the Bethany and Kelly Barnhill.
Summer has moved around a lot and knows better than to trust her current foster family. She knows she can only count on herself, which makes adjusting to a new school in a new town very lonely. One day, while Summer and her foster family are having lunch, a hole appears in the middle of the living room.
The hole leads down to a dragon, who promises Summer three wishes, to be granted by a witch. Finally, things are looking up as Summer can have the security and company she’s always wanted—guaranteed by magic with no complicated feelings involved.
But every granted wish makes the hole in the floor grow bigger and the witch more sinister. With the magic taking a dark turn, can Summer risk asking for her dearest wish?
