Granted

From the author of beloved novels Ms. Bixby’s Last Day and Posted comes a hilarious, heartfelt, and unforgettable novel about a fairy-in-training. 

Everyone who wishes upon a star, or a candle, or a penny thrown into a fountain knows that you’re not allowed to tell anyone what you’ve wished for. But even so, there is someone out there who hears it. 

In a magical land called the Haven lives a young fairy named Ophelia Delphinium Fidgets. Ophela is no ordinary fairy—she is a Granter: one of the select fairies whose job it is to venture out into the world and grant the wishes of unsuspecting humans every day.

It’s the work of the Granters that generates the magic that allows the fairies to do what they do, and to keep the Haven hidden and safe. But with worldwide magic levels at an all-time low, this is not as easy as it sounds. On a typical day, only a small fraction of the millions of potential wishes gets granted.

Today, however, is anything but typical. Because today, Ophelia is going to get her very first wish-granting assignment.

And she’s about to discover that figuring out how to truly give someone what they want takes much more than a handful of fairy dust.

What happens when the rules get in the way of doing what’s right?

• A Magical Adventure: Join Ophelia, a fairy-in-training, as she leaves the safety of the Haven for her very first mission in the bewildering and dangerous human world.
• A Heartfelt Coming of Age Story: With magic levels at an all-time low, Ophelia learns that granting a wish takes more than just following the rules—it takes empathy, courage, and choosing what’s truly right.
• An Unlikely Found Family: From her wisecracking best friend Charlie to a scruffy, abandoned dog named Sam, Ophelia discovers that the strongest magic might be the friends who have your back.
• Perfect for Young Fantasy Readers: A funny, moving, and unforgettable fantasy novel perfect for kids ages 8-12 and fans of classic fairy tales with a contemporary twist.
