"Four tweens navigating personal troubles must help a disgraced fairy return to her realm in this lightly fantastical novel . . . Kate fittingly centers the four kids, thoughtfully developing each of their personalities and conflicts, and providing grounding realism to the fanciful, wish-granting premise."

– Publishers Weekly

"In this heartwarming tale about friendship, fairies, and family, the story of Van, Birdie, and Gem is lyrically told. . . the characters are rich and carefully crafted . . . Recommended."

– School Library Connection

"Told through alternating points of view and swiftly paced, the book homes in on understanding and acknowledging the real reasons why we want things. . . It steers clear of becoming a tired allegory about adolescence, instead thoughtfully focusing on navigating the challenges of changing bodies and relationships. . . A charming and engaging story in which friendship prevails."
