I was lucky enough to read an early copy of HOW TO BUILD A MIRACLE by New York Times Bestselling author Lynda Mullaly Hunt, best known for FISH IN A TREE!

This beautiful story is filled with both heartbreak and hope, and by the end, Lynda has a way of putting the pieces back together, stronger than before.

HOW TO BUILD A MIRACLE is a middle-grade story that tweens, teens, and adults alike will find meaningful and deeply enjoyable. It's a story about connection, loss, friendship, and hope, and Lynda's storytelling shows readers how we can help each other through even the hardest moments.

Watch my book review to hear more about the story and why I think HOW TO BUILD A MIRACLE is a must-read!

If you love discovering books that stay with you long after you have finished reading, I think this is one you will want to add to your reading list. Out in February 2027
