Return to Sender by Vera Brosgol

$24.99

Be careful what you wish for. . .

After everything they've been through, Oliver and his mom finally have a place to call home. But Oliver's fresh start feels more like a dead-end at his fancy new private school, where kids fly in on helicopters, wear the latest and most expensive sneakers, and go on luxury vacations. Oliver is only there because his mom's the school custodian.

Oliver wishes his life could be easier. And then one day, after slipping a wish into a mysterious mail slot, it suddenly comes true. Pizza for dinner? Yes! The rarest sneakers in the world? Yes! Everything he could ever want, without spending a cent? Yes, yes, yes!

Oliver's dreams are finally within his grasp. . . but what happens when he discovers that his wishes don't come for free?

Vera Brosgol does it again!

As a fan of Vera Brosgol’s since her relatable 2016 picture book “Leave Me Alone” and her hilarious 2018 graphic novel about suffering through Russian heritage summer camp, “Be Prepared,” I was delighted to read an advance reader copy of “Return to Sender.”

Once again, Brosgol has captured the agita of early adolescence amidst the awkwardness of a new school in a completely new socioeconomic environment. The sense of mystery, the familiar, and the tedium of grappling with grief are well-suited to the late middle-grade age group.

I’m delighted that Wonder Pens is including this title in their offerings!
