This book may appeal to you if you're seeking a magical adventure filled with humour and heart. It's perfect for young readers who enjoy stories about friendship, self-discovery, and the unexpected surprises life can offer.

After her best friend ditches her, fifth-grader Becca, feeling devastated and alone, yearns for people to like her, so when a magical bracelet grants her wish to have loads of friends, she soon discovers having a dream come true is not as simple as it seems.

Description

Becca Singer is having the Worst Day Ever. Her best friend, Harper, dumped her, and Becca is totally friendless and alone.

Then the box arrives in the mail. Inside the box? One bracelet, plus a mysterious note telling Becca to make a wish. So Becca puts on the bracelet—why not, right?—and wishes to have friends. Lots of friends. So many friends.

And just like that, the magic works. Suddenly, everyone wants to be Becca’s BFF, from all the kids at school to the teachers (!) to her own mum (!!). As things spin out of control, Becca starts to wonder: Is this wish a curse?

And stay tuned for Book Two, co-written by Sarah Mlynowski and Debbie Rigaud, when a girl in Ohio gets the bracelet in the mail and makes a new wish!

This series is perfect for fans of Whatever After, Upside-Down Magic, Twisted Tales, The Baby-Sitters Club, and all stories told with warmth and sparkle.
