INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Harper, Charise Mericle

Dreamer, Wisher, Liar

(3) 4-6 Ashley faces a variety of challenges: she suffers from face blindness, her best friend is moving away, and her mom has welcomed a quirky seven-year-old houseguest for the summer. Then Ash finds a magical wish jar that transports her back in time. Harper combines reality and fantastical escapism with admirable balance, and self-aware Ash's unique affliction adds depth to the story.
