The Wishing Game

Meg Shaffer

'Clever, dark, and hopeful . . . a love letter to reading and the power childhood stories have over us long after we've grown up' V.E. Schwab, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

'A dreamy, inventive novel about how books can not only change lives but save them too' Sarah Addison Allen, author of Other Birds

One of the Washington Post's top ten feel-good novels of the year: a perfect gift for book lovers everywhere!

During her lonely childhood, Lucy Hart found solace in Jack Masterson's Clock Island books. Now a teacher's aide, she shares her love of reading with Christopher, a former student she'd give anything to adopt - if only she could afford it.

Just when Lucy is about to give up, the famously reclusive writer announces that he's finally written a new book, and he's holding a contest at his home on the real Clock Island to win the only copy.

Winning the most sought-after book in the world could change Lucy and Christopher's lives. But with wily opponents, the books' distractingly handsome illustrator, and Jack Masterson himself to contend with, that won't be as easy as she wishes . . .
