WISH ON A UNICORN (A PUFFIN BOOK) IN THANE

Mags doesn't believe in making wishes. What's the point? If wishes came true, she wouldn't live in a trailer and she wouldn't have to wear ratty clothes to school. But then her sister Hannie finds an old stuffed unicorn, and suddenly Mags' luck starts to change. Mags knows the unicorn can't really be magical, but what's the harm in letting Hannie believe that it is? "Ranks with Betsy Byar's Pinballs and Cynthia Voight's Homecoming in describing families surviving as best they can under economic deprivation." — Publishers Weekly
