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 isnât quite goneâand how to navigate a world that is moving forward without him.
Of course Anders wasnât lonely in the afterlife. He still, like always, had Lily.
Lily doesnât believe in making wishes. Not anymore. Not since Anders died.
Wishes canât fix the terrible thing that happened. Wishing wonât change how it feels.
But Lily does believe in the impossible. She has a secret so extraordinary, so magical, no one would believe that itâs 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.
