A Novel
by Wendy Wunder
Dry, sarcastic, sixteen-year-old Cam Cooper has spent the last seven years in and out of hospitals. The last thing she wants to do in the short life she has left is move 1,500 miles away to Promise, Maine - a place known for the miraculous events that occur there. But it's undeniable that strange things happen in Promise: everlasting sunsets; purple dandelions; flamingos in the frigid Atlantic; an elusive boy named Asher; and finally, a mysterious envelope containing a list of things for Cam to do before she dies. As Cam checks each item off the list, she finally learns to believe - in love, in herself, and even in miracles.
A debut novel from an immensely talented new writer, The Probability of Miracles crackles with wit, romance and humor and will leave readers laughing and crying with each turn of the page.
Ages 12+
"Starred Review. Irreverent humor, quirky small-town charm and surprises along the way help readers brace themselves for the tearjerker ending." - Kirkus Reviews
"[I]t's surprisingly not a depressing book. If anything, this is a book about celebrating life, the little miracles to the big miracles to the most fun moments of just being a teenager. This debut from Wendy Wunder is rather magical." - YA Librarian Tales
"It is an engaging story with plenty of warmth and heart that never loses its sharp edge. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I'd say this one is geared for a high school audience, based on the themes here and some teen drinking and drug use..." - Kinnelon Library Teen Blog
