A story about
Ten-year-old Amanda Green loves drawing in her sketchbook—a private haven filled with her most precious dreams and shades of purple. Only her cat, Simeon, and her best friend, Lily, have seen its pages. But when Lily moves away, Amanda faces the challenge of befriending Alex, the new neighbor whose unpredictable moods and sharp comments keep Amanda guessing. Unsure if she can trust her, Amanda wonders if sharing her art might spark a true connection—or leave her feeling more alone than ever.

Perfect for fans of Wish by Barbara O'Connor and Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo, this heartfelt middle-grade novel explores the courage it takes to be yourself.

The Characters

  • Marcus is a man with a single, modest goal in life: to be remarkably, lavishly, and scandalously rich. There's just one small problem... how do you make money when you're being pursued by the local mob, the city guards, and a jilted fiancée?
  • Eleanor is a woman who hates the term jilted. Or scorned. Or rejected. As far as Eleanor is concerned, a promise is a promise, and she intends to collect on hers with interest!
  • Yuriy runs a family-owned business with a wide range of income streams: gambling, "protection", bribery, blackmail, violence, and a little light relocation of pre-owned property. But Yuriy will do anything for his only daughter... and if she wants a wedding, that's exactly what she'll get.

One writer in particular stood out from the finalists, with a character-driven story that we just couldn't put down until we'd turned the last page.

We can't wait to see what's next from [author name]!

As I write this review, my side still hurt from laughing so much. [Book Title] delivers what so many books are missing these days... silly, feel-good fun with likeable characters I want to spend time with.
I'm definitely picking up the next in the series!

Underneath all the humor, fun banter and over-the-top chaos, there's a heartwarming tale of what it really means to be a supportive father, a loving daughter, and a young man wrestling with commitment.

[Author name] has written the finest fantasy trilogy in recent memory. He’s one writer no one should miss.
