Best Wishes by Sarah Mlynowski

Be careful what you wish for... or perhaps, be careful how you phrase your wish. Becca learns this the hard way, but ultimately this story shows how being friends can change as people age and interests grow or fade. Very sweet.

This book is a great take on a standard life problem: when you’re growing up and growing apart from your first friends from the start of school. What if you could wish that everyone wanted to be your friend? What if that wish came true? This book puts a slight bit of magic into that wish, as it explores what friendship is - and what it isn’t. The pacing is just right, and I love how the author incorporates the main character’s religious practices into the story without making it a big focus - which many readers will see reflected in their own lives. This planned trilogy will be a great addition to grade 3 - 6 classrooms and libraries.
