March BOTM - Fantasy, Contemporary, Christian Fiction - Middle Grade
Mona dislikes change. And with a recent move across the country and the prospect of new friends at a new school-- seventh grade doesn't sound promising. In fact, she's determined not to go at all. Mona begins to dream, hope, and wish for a way out. She's grown up hearing stories of fairy tales and magical worlds--of beanstalks and transportable wardrobes--but do they really exist? When she stumbles upon a strange seed and determines to plant it, hopeful it might grow into her means of escape, she realizes she may have planted more than she bargained for. The Wishing Seed is a coming-of-age tale about two sisters, new friendships, love, and forgiveness--all the while exploring what it means to bear good fruit. With just a little wish, trust, and silver dust, will Mona find what she's looking for? Or will her secrets ruin everything she's planned?
