About this ebook
A graphic novel adaptation of the #1 New York Times–bestselling novel about a girl who, with the help of a true-blue friend, a bighearted aunt and uncle, and the dog of her dreams, unexpectedly learns the true meaning of friendship and family in the least likely of places.
Eleven-year-old Charlie Reese has been making the same secret wish every day since the fourth grade. She even has a list of all the ways there are to make the wish, such as cutting off the pointed end of a slice of pie and wishing on it as she eats the last bite. But when she is sent to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to live with family she barely knows, it seems unlikely that her wish will ever come true. That is, until she meets a stray dog and a neighbor boy who show her that what she thought she wanted may not be what she needs at all.
Barbara O’Connor’s beloved story is brought to life by Maggie Edkins Willis’s dynamic illustrations, which capture the happiness and hope found in the people and places we love most.
