In Conversation with Landra Jennings

A spellbinding middle grade contemporary fantasy about a girl who must band together with newfound friends to find and save her kidnapped sister. Eleven-year-old Mira wishes everything could go back to the way it was. Before she changed schools and had to quit gymnastics. Especially before Papa died. Now she spends her days cooking and cleaning for her stepsisters and Val—who she still won’t call mom and still won’t forgive for the terrible thing she did. When a mysterious girl named Lyndame appears out of the woods wielding a dazzling wand, she makes Mira an offer she can’t refuse: she will grant Mira three wishes. What if magic isn’t just pretend after all? What if these wishes could fix everything? But in the quiet town of Between, Georgia, where secrets lurk and rumors swirl of strange creatures, nothing is as it seems, and everything comes at a price.
Rising talent Landra Jennings weaves together with eloquence and compassion an enchanting, modern fairy tale about finding hope after loss—and finding belonging in the places we least expect.
