β¦ Synopsis
The perfect book for girls and boys who look to find adventure and magic in surprising places!
What if you were really bored with your life? What would you wish for?
Penelope Grey wishes for something--anything!--interesting to happen, and here's what she gets:
β’ Her father quits his job.
β’ Her family runs out of money.
β’ Her home becomes a pit of despair.
So Penelope makes another wish, and this time the Greys inherit a ramshackle old house in the middle of nowhere. Off they go, leaving the city and their problems behind them. Their new home is full of artists, tiny lions, unusual feasts, and true friends. Almost immediately, their lives are transformed. Penelope's mother finds an unexpected job, her father discovers a hidden talent, and Penelope changes her name!
Penny's new life feels too magical to be real, too real to be magic. And it may be too good to last . . . unless she can find a way to make magic work just one...
