Granted
By John Anderson
From the author of beloved novels Ms. Bixby’s Last Day and Posted comes a hilarious, heartfelt, and unforgettable novel about a fairy-in-training.
Everyone who wishes upon a star, or a candle, or a penny thrown into a fountain knows that you’re not allowed to tell anyone what you’ve wished for. But even so, there is someone out there who hears it.
In a magical land called the Haven lives a young fairy named Ophelia Delphinium Fidgets. Ophela is no ordinary fairy—she is a Granter: one of the select fairies whose job it is to venture out into the world and grant the wishes of unsuspecting humans every day.
It’s the work of the Granters that generates the magic that allows the fairies to do what they do, and to keep the Haven hidden and safe. But with worldwide magic levels at an all-time low, this is not as easy as it sounds. On a typical day, only a small fraction of the millions of potential wishes gets granted.
Today, however, is anything but typical. Because today, Ophelia is going to get her very first wish-granting assignment.
And she’s about to discover that figuring out how to truly give someone what they want takes much more than a handful of fairy dust.

Do you believe in wishing? If not, you will now. Ophelia Delphinium Fidgets is a Granter, a fairy that grants wishes except...she hasn't granted any wishes yet. But the rate of fairy dust has been going down lately, and they won't be able to grant a lot of wishes. So 12 are chosen, by the Great Tree itself. And Ophelia is one of the 12 that will grant one of the wishes. She goes on a long and desperate journey, finding that the outside world is much more dangerous than meets the eye. From befriending a stray dog, to almost getting killed by a plane, Ophelia survives all her difficulties but she must make a choice. A choice that might kill the Great Tree and change the fate of the Granters. I would recommend this for ages 10+ This was so cute and the pace was perfect! The characters were so unique and fun. I loved how the author explained things it made everything very interesting. This could still use some improvement but still such a lovely book. Granted reminded me so much of the book Disenchanted and Ms. Hickory! Would definitely recommend this.
Sounds so good! I read the preview of it on Shelf Stuff, and I loved it! I can’t wait to see if my library has it!
