A Way to Wish

Book excerpt: Evelyn “Evi” Keil may be from an uneventful town, but in no way is her life predictable. For as long as she can remember, she has seen things others cannot even imagine. Convinced that the horrifying visions are merely hallucinations, she rejects the reality of all she has witnessed. Evi moves forward in denial, until one summer afternoon while visiting a traveling carnival with her friends, a fortune-teller reveals the unbelievable: Evi is not human, and she holds a strong gift which has not been seen for three hundred years. Afraid and confused, Evi takes a drive out of town, when she is swept up into a mysterious flash flood, and disappears from the only world she ever knew existed. The next time Evi opens her eyes, she fi nds herself in a strange land called Wish, bound to a goblin prince through a magic spell, and faced with the truth about her identity.
