***

Six wishes. One summer. A girl about to discover the true magic inside her.

Julie is convinced she doesn’t need friends.
Not at home, not at school… and certainly not at Camp Firefly Grove.
She rolls her eyes at the rules. Snaps at kids who try to be kind. Pushes away anyone who gets too close.
But everything changes the night Miss Clara hands her a small glass jar filled with six glowing fireflies—each one able to grant a wish.
Suddenly, Julie has the world exactly the way she wants it: quiet, exciting, full of treats and freedom. Yet with every wish, another firefly fades… And Julie begins to realize that getting everything you want isn’t the same as feeling understood or loved.
At camp, Julie meets Lila, a quiet, gentle girl carrying something far heavier than her backpack. And as their worlds slowly collide, Julie faces a choice she never expected—a choice that will test her heart more than any spell.
A magical, emotional adventure perfect for fans of The Wish Tree, The Magic Tree House, and heartfelt friendship stories.
