Had a Great Fall by Shawn Mcguire
After nearly fifty years as an indentured genie, Desiree escaped the magical world . . . for a few weeks.Now she's the leader of the Wish Makers and it's been anything but a peaceful transition.The cross-country move was meant to be a fresh start for Robin Westmore. But on the first day at his new high school, Robin ends up face-to-face with the school's biggest bully. The exact wrong place at the exact wrong moment and right back into his old role of victim.Hopeless, Robin begs for it all to stop. It's childish, wishing on a dandelion, but he can't take it anymore and needs a way out.Distracted by her duties, Desiree passes Robin off to a new, inexperienced genie who takes things from bad to so very much worse.What Readers Are SayingFantasy at its best Not only do we get to follow along on Mandy's adventure with Lexi, we also get to learn bits about Desiree - the wish mistress who I absolutely fell in love with.Desiree is this quirky, hippy chic genie. She lives in the present with her mind in the past. She marches to her own rhythm, her own way of thinking. Desiree doesn't really fit in, but she has a uniqueness about her that defies rigidity. And she's ever-evolving, always learning something else. It might take her moment to find the lesson, but she'll get there. Eventually.Desiree even has her own back story that we slowly get to peel away as the story progresses.These books are wonderful. They take you into a world where you find you want to live.The Wish Makers SeriesSticks and Stones, Book 1Break My Bones, Book 2Never Hurt Me, Book 3Had a Great Fall, Book 4Back Together Again, Book 5Shawn McGuire is the author of speculative fiction novels for young adults that combine modern settings with a dash of fantasy and magic. She began writing after witnessing the first Star Wars film as a child (episode IV): she couldn't wait for the next one, so she created her own. Those notebooks are unfortunately no longer in existence, but her passion to write remains as strong today as it was then. She grew up in Winona, Minnesota, a lovely Mississippi River town that inspired the location for Sticks and Stones and the upcoming Break My Bones. She relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Go Pack Go!) after graduating from college and resided there for many years. Shawn enjoys cooking and baking, crafts, interior decorating, and spending time hiking and camping in the magnificent Rocky Mountains with her family when she is not writing or reading.
