From award-winning YA author Leah Johnson comes the sequel to her stunning middle grade debut, Ellie Engle Saves Herself, now with Ellie's bff, Bree Boyd, taking center stage in story about friendship, family, and what it really means to be the best
7th grader Bree Boyd loves rules, order, and knowing what's going to happen next. It's why she likes reading the same books over and over; it's why she's the school's reigning spelling bee champ; and, most importantly, it's why she's never minded the high expectations her father has always had for her and her sisters. After all, if you're always the best, life can't throw many surprises at you.
But for the first time, Bree has no idea what the future holds. Because when a huge storm delivers a bolt of lightning straight into Bree, it leaves behind something she never prepared for: the power to move things with her mind.
All of a sudden Bree's life—filled with rules and routine—is twisted upside down and inside out. But will these new powers show Bree the magic of an unpredictable, imperfect life? Or will they simply spell disaster for everyone?
Irresistibly charming, laugh-out-loud funny, and brimming with heart, Leah Johnson's powerful series about ordinary kids with extraordinary abilities is nothing short of miraculous.
