Beatrice Corwell has a crooked haircut, eight well-trained cats, and a plan: sheâs turning herself into a Tin Man. Once her heart is made of metal, sheâll no longer miss her beloved dead grandma, her absent dad, or her recently moved-away best friend.
While Beatrice awaits her transformation, she keeps vigil with a special doll and a handful of wishes sheâs determined to make come true. With her encyclopedic knowledge, there must be a way to grant her heartâs deepest desires.
When an unusual boy named Caleb moves to town and mentions his grannyâs interest in magic, Beatrice decides to enlist their help. She quickly learns, however, that spells donât always go as planned, and witches canât be trusted.
With the arrival of an unexpected visitor and a series of otherworldly messages, Beatriceâs plans begin to falter. Will her heart turn into metal? Will any of her wishes come true?
The Wonderful Wishes of B. is the story of a smart, quirky girl learning what she wants and what she needsâand how, sometimes, the wishes we hold dearest are granted in the most unexpected ways.
