Granted By John David Anderson ($11.72)
From the author of beloved novels Ms. Bixby’s Last Day and Posted comes a hilarious, heartfelt, and unforgettable novel about a fairy-in-training.
Everyone who wishes upon a star, or a candle, or a penny thrown into a fountain knows that you’re not allowed to tell anyone what you’ve wished for. But even so, there is someone out there who hears it.
In a magical land called the Haven lives a young fairy named Ophelia Delphinium Fidgets. Ophela is no ordinary fairy—she is a Granter: one of the select fairies whose job it is to venture out into the world and grant the wishes of unsuspecting humans every day.
It’s the work of the Granters that generates the magic that allows the fairies to do what they do, and to keep the Haven hidden and safe. But with worldwide magic levels at an all-time low, this is not as easy as it sounds. On a typical day, only a small fraction of the millions of potential wishes gets granted.
Today, however, is anything but typical. Because today, Ophelia is going to get her very first wish-granting assignment.
And she’s about to discover that figuring out how to truly give someone what they want takes much more than a handful of fairy dust.
It includes a signed bookplate and an exclusive letter from the author.
The book cover features a silhouette of Ophelia, the fairy in training, riding on a dog.
The book is truly magical. The whats, hows, and whys of wishes are tackled, definitely a good read for kids!
The characters are lovable, while the story is fun and heartwarming.
There are many lessons to be learned from the book, but the best one is that magic can be found in everyday things!
They also sent a card containing next month’s theme, Myth & Might!
Get ready to experience mythology like you’ve never seen it before. Our April book is filled with heart-stopping trials, magnificent characters, and lots of laughs! Percy Jackson fans, you will not want to miss out on this epic new adventure!
As always, the items they send extends the fun of the book into the real world. We love this month’s theme, which was all about wishes and the magic of making them come true. The goodies were cute, especially the bookmark and the puzzle! Of course, my daughter loved the book too! This subscription is great for building a children’s book collection, while the themed bookish goodies make it even more worthwhile. It’s great that they reveal the theme for next month right away, it gets us excited all over again!
