In the tradition of heartwrenching and hopeful middle grade novels such as Bridge to Terabithia comes Jess Redman's stunning debut about a young boy who must regain his faith in miracles after a tragedy changes his world.
Eleven-year-old Wunder Ellis is a miracologist. In a journal he calls The Miraculous, he records stories of the inexplicable and the extraordinary. And he believes every single one. But then his newborn sister dies, at only eight days old. If that can happen, then miracles canât exist. So Wunder gets rid of The Miraculous. He stops believing.
Then he meets Fayeâa cape-wearing, outspoken girl with losses of her own. Together, they find an abandoned house by the cemetery and a mysterious old woman who just might be a witch. The old woman asks them for their help. She asks them to believe. And they go on a journey that leads to friendship, to adventure, to healingâand to miracles.
The Miraculous is Jess Redmanâs sparkling debut novel about facing grief, trusting the unknown, and finding brightness in the darkest moments.
âA stunning story expressing the complexities and mysteries of love and death in all of its light and darkness. A beautifully rendered and meaningful read for young readers asking deep questions.â âVeera Hiranandani, Newbery Honorâwinning author of The Night Diary
âExquisitely crafted, serious, yet woven through with wry humor, this storyâs miracles are its fierce and tender characters. I loved this extraordinary debut.â âLeslie Connor, National Book Award Finalist author of The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle
