(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Angela Dominguez. Ava Tree is excited about her "Backward Birthday Party," which her older brother/guardian Jack helps plan. As the day unfolds, Ava notices her casual wishes coming true. What will happen if she wishes their parents weren't dead? The poignancy of Ava's longing gives the story depth. Betancourt allows Ava to learn from her choices without the intrusive I-told-you-so voice of the adult.
