Synopsis "Return to Sender"

Magic, mystery, and a marvelous mailbox take two kids on an incredible journey in this middle grade adventure novel from bestselling comics creator Vera Brosgol. Perfect for fans of Greenwild and The Lost Library and kids ready to move from graphic novels to novels. *This deluxe, beautiful book features dynamic yellow page edges and fun illustrations throughout by the author!* 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 has combined the silliness and social satire of Roald Dahl with the imagination-bending multiverse of Everything Everywhere All at Once to create an utterly unique novel." -Adam Gidwitz, Newbery Honor Author of The Inquisitor's Tale "I wish that you would just open this book and start reading it." -Lemony Snicket, bestselling author of A Series of Unfortunate Events Check out these other beloved books by Vera Brosgol: Anya's GhostBe PreparedPlain Jain and the MermaidLeave Me Alone!Memory JarsThe Little Guys
