This is the second book Naphtali recommended so I could get a sense of what is popular with girls in grades 6-12. Hazel, our protagonist, has felt rejected all her life, not knowing either of her parents and never feeling like she really belonged anywhere. Then on her 18th birthday she is given three dresses, each with the ability to grant a wish. Her first wish finds her traveling back in time where she gets to know her biological mother who gave her up for adoption. As their relationship grows, Hazel discovers that life doesn't have easy answers and sometimes something that you hoped for all your life may not really be what is best for you. This is a good coming of age novel with a positive message. It is actually book 2 in the series and I plan to go back and pick up book 1. 256 p.
