Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have magic powers? To be able to change the future and make things happen just the way you want them to? Twelve-year-old Gracie learns the ups and downs of having magical powers in this cool story about a wish granting journal. When Gracie sees the quote inside a blue, suede covered journal at a garage sale she knows the book is meant for her. When Gracie's journal writing comes true, she thinks she can solve her problems, but she ends up with more than she bargained for.
I just love the idea of wish granting magical objects. But, after reading this book, I don't think I ever want one. I felt so hopeful for Gracie when she was writing in her journal, and I cringed alongside her with the results of her attempts to control the future.
Bottom Line:
Magic might not always be the answer; you'll root for Gracie; loved it!
