The Unfortunate Wishes of Nelly Young

A girl and her friends find their wishes coming true and their world turned upside down in this absurdly funny middle grade romp that’s Dork Diaries meets The Wish by Gail Carson Levine.

It’s spring break, and twelve-year-old Nelly Young is determined to ditch the embarrassing nickname Breaking News Nelly and become Totally Cool Nelly. She’s not quite sure how, but she’s sure she’ll figure it out…especially when she has her two best friends, Clara and Jas, by her side. Though nothing seems to go right for any of them, at least the three girls have each other.

With nothing to lose, they’re determined to make their own luck and write down their ultimate wishes. But to their surprise, the next morning they find their wishes starting to come true. But how?! They haven’t got a clue, but soon the tides are turning for Nelly, Clara, and Jas, and all it takes is one wish…and then another…and another.

Because when you have the power of unlimited wishes on your side, what could possibly go wrong?
