Make a wish . . .Lennie always thought her uncles’ “important family legacy” was good old-fashioned bootlegging. Then she takes some of her uncles’ moonshine to Michaela Gordon’s annual house party, and finds out just how wrong she was.At the party, Lennie has everyone make a wish before drinking the shine—it’s tradition. She toasts to wishes for bat wings, for balls of steel, for the party to go on forever. Lennie even makes a wish of her own: to bring back her best friend, Dylan, who was murdered six months ago.The next morning gives Lennie a whole new understanding of the phrase be careful what you wish for—or in her case, be careful what wishes you grant. Because all those wishes Lennie raised a jar of shine to last night? They came true. Most of them came out bad. And once granted, a wish can’t be unmade. . . .May all your wishes come true, or at least just this one.Praise for Kate Karyus Quinn“A distinctive, supernatural read.”—Kirkus Reviews on (Don’t You) Forget About Me“Quinn is a gifted writer.

Quinn skillfully occupies the mind of a young woman who turns out to be a monster—yet one who’s not beyond redemption.”—The Horn Book on Another Little Piece
