Her best friend, Violet, returns from camp with a new best friend; her parents refuse to grant her more independence; and her homeroom teacher, Ms. Kline, is full of secrets. When Ms. Kline unveils a collection of old Gothamite magazines and tells her students to build their writing skills by crafting short stories inspired by the iconic covers, J.R. discovers a peculiar power: The stories she writes come true. Soon J.R. is getting a cell phone, scoring game-winning goals, and triggering school cancellations. But it's not long before she realizes that each new story creates as many conflicts as it does solutions. And when J.R. tries to write about her fallout with Violet, all of her problems converge. With a pinch of magic, mystery, art history, and language arts woven into a journey of growth and self-confidence, this promising debut is a heartfelt and satisfying tribute to the power of words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for fans of: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wendy Mass and Rebecca Stead \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mona Lisa Vanishes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e ​Museum and Mystery Lovers \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E.
