Best Wishes
(eBook)

It's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants for a new generation of middle-grade readers, from bestselling and beloved author Sarah Mlynowski! Becca Friedman loves: living in New York City, watching unboxing vids on YouTube, and having a great BFF. But at the start of fifth grade, things go very wrong. Becca's best friend ditches her, and Becca feels totally devastated and alone. Worse, her teacher is mean to her, and her big brother picks on her more than ever. So Becca makes a simple wish: for people to like her. When a mysterious box arrives in the mail, Becca is intrigued - this is just like an unboxing video! Inside the box is a bracelet and a cryptic set of instructions: If Becca wears the bracelet, her wish will come true... and when she's done with the bracelet, she has to pass it along to another girl. Becca wears the bracelet, and suddenly, EVERYONE wants to be her friend - all the kids at school, the teachers (!), her mom (!!!), and even Becca's big brother. Becca is loving this newfound popularity, even if she doesn't quite know what to do with it. As things become increasingly absurd and the whole WORLD wants to hang out with Becca, she begins to wonder if having a wish come true is as simple as it seems. Who even sent the box? Could it have to do with the sweet librarian at school? And will Becca be able to find her way to a meaningful friendship with or without the bracelet? And who should it go to next? In this magical new series from the author of Whatever After and co-author of Upside-Down Magic, a chain of magic will bring a different girl in each book not quite what she wished for but definitely just the thing she needs. Told in an irresistible diary format with illustrations, this new series will enchant readers with its humor, hijinks, and empowering message!
