Wonder Quinn is a lonely orphan who lives in the attic of Direleafe Hall with only a gloomy crow for company. Every year she watches the other girls return to school, hoping to find a friend among them. And every year her heart breaks when she doesnβt. So when a fiery new girl befriends her in class, Wonderβs dreams seem to be coming true. Mabel Clattersham is outspoken, kind and, most importantly, unafraid of the awful Georgiana Kinch. But as the girls grow closer, Wonder discovers her friend has a list of strange wishes: Throw a pie, leap into the sky, break someoneβs heart. What is Mabelβs big secret? And why is she in such a hurry to finish her list? Can Wonder protect her heart from being broken all over again?
