WISH YOU WEREN’T
Marten doesn’t believe in the power of wishes. None of his have ever come true. His parents ignore him, his little brother is a pain and his family is talking about moving to Texas. Not cool. So when he makes an impulsive wish during a meteor shower, he doesn’t expect it to make any difference.?
Until his annoying brother disappears.
With the present uncertain and his brother’s future in limbo, Marten finds himself stuck in his past. And if he runs out of time, even wishes might not be enough to save the ones he loves.

Thanks for the giveaway!
looks cute – hope I win a copy
Ooooh. Looks like another book to add to my TBR list. Thanks for the giveaway, hope I win!
This looks like a great book! Love that one of Sherrie’s pet peeves is the word “perched.” So funny that we all have words that get us! (Mine is “chill” as in “the air was chill or “the chill air” – ugh.)
i don’t believe in wishes either, sounds interesting
