A moving middle grade story by Anica Mrose Rissi that will appeal to readers who loved The Thing about Jellyfish and Hello, Universe, about the enduring bond between twins: Anders, who has recently died, and Lily, who has to balance her grief and confusion with a brother who isnāt quite goneāand how to navigate a world that is moving forward without him.
Of course Anders wasnāt lonely in the afterlife. He still, like always, had Lily.
Lily doesnāt believe in making wishes. Not anymore. Not since Anders died.
Wishes canāt fix the terrible thing that happened. Wishing wonāt change how it feels.
But Lily does believe in the impossible. She has a secret so extraordinary, so magical, no one would believe that itās true.
No one except Anders, of course.
Nothing about this summer is turning out how Lily would have wished. But wishes, like seasons, can change.
