I've read many books by tween and teen author Schroeder and this one didn't disappoint. This is a great title for young teens that are dealing with divorce for the first time and navigating the waters of moving to a new school or town.
The main character Juliet has recently moved to San Diego, after her parents recent divorce. She still has time to adjust and relax before school starts up again. She meets a quirky friendly gal named Emma who suggest they send a message in a bottle across the ocean to see who will answer. They are surprised that this individual wants to start a club based on making wishes happen for people in need. Juliet soon discovers that she too has wishes to still strive for and things to overcome as she deals with her new beginning in a new town. Schroeder's writing is poetic, entertaining, and detailed. The series will continue in her upcoming book, "Wish on All The Stars," which will be released in July 2019! We can't wait!
