The Altered History of Willow Sparks by Tara O'Connor
4.0
Thank you to the publisher for the advanced reader copy.
Willy hates high school, her acne won’t go a way, her hair’s too short, she can’t afford cool clothes, and she is being ruthlessly bullied by the prettiest girl in school.
Then, she’s asked to close down the library-which you know is totally normal, a teen volunteer alone in a library, closing it herself- she discovers the book of her life in a secret basement room. When she writes something in it- like that she walks up with clear skin, or a designer sweater- it’ll come true.
And while it’s exciting to be noticed for good things at school, nothing that powerful comes without a price...
I thought it was a fun premise, told well. It felt like real high school with fantastic elements. I totally enjoyed it and would recommend it!
