Crítics Matiners

Narrated by Graham Hamilton Some say she grants wishes. Some say her touch kills. One boy is drawn into her enchanted world. “How would you describe your condition?” I asked. Isabel didn’t respond. Instead, her eyes landed on a wasp, possibly the same one that had been buzzing around my ear earlier. Isabel turned her chin slightly in its direction. She blew out as if extinguishing a candle flame. For a split-second the wasp hovered in the air. Then it dropped dead to the ground. “A breathtaking story in which myths come to frightening life and buried wishes might actually come true.”—Nova Ren Suma, author of The Walls Around Us and Imaginary Girls
