Whoosh! The wind glides through the willow tree in the book Wishing Day. Natasha's wishing day has come, and she is ready for her three wishes (an impossible wish, a wish you can make true yourself, and the deepest wish in your heart) but, she isn't sure about the wishes she made. This book takes a journey through the next weeks of her wishes, but is it a journey she wants to take? This book is packed full with humor, romance, and magic that 4th-7th graders will love! There is so much to love about this book, sisterhood, magic, and all of the above!

Mom. That is the one word that always sticks in your mind when you read the book The Forgetting Spell. Darya's mom has been missing for as long as Darya can remember. No one in her family knows what happened, or do they. Natasha made a wish that could have effected the whole family, and now that wish is coming true, and maybe the reward is different than before. This book is a great, adventurous, and humorous book for high level elementary school and middle school girls. If you loved Wishing Day, then this book will be amazing.
