The 11:11 Wish by Kim Tomsic
4.0

Thank you to @jonathanballpublishers for this #gifted review copy

Megan Meyers is the new girl at her middle school and she wants to reinvent herself. When she discovers that the cat clock in her classroom grants wishes, Megan thinks she’s got it all sorted. Magic has unexpected consequences though!

This is such a cute middle grade read about being careful what you wish for. There are so many great elements in this book; it deals with loss, as Megan’s mum recently died and her family struggles to come to terms with it. I love how it teaches that lying isn’t necessarily just telling a lie, but also not speaking up about a truth. My favourite thing though, is that it teaches the importance of just being yourself and letting people love you for you.

This is a sweet book that has some great morals and issues for kids, I highly recommend this middle grade read.

4/5
