Evelyn is at her breaking point. Her sister, Emily, is acting as if she is the only one that matters and is accusing Evelyn of trying to abandon her. In a burst of anger, Evelyn wishes she could just be rid of Emily. Of course, she doesn’t really think her wish will come true. But up in the sky, the stars are listening and eager to grant wishes. In Megan Lam’s When You Wish Upon A Star, readers will find themselves immersed in a story about family, love and honesty. Will the sisters learn the meaning of “be careful what you wish for”?
