Ever since her mom died, Megan Meyers was that quiet girl from her old school, but now she has a foolproof plan for Saguaro Prep- goodbye, nerdy math dork, and hello, friend magnet! But unfortunately, Saguaro Prep starts off awkward to the tenth power. Blame the zap-a dare that you must fulfill- but the zap could either make or break her reputation. But when Megan encounters a strange cat clock,
Why not wish?
At 11:11, Megan Meyers makes a wish. It fulfills the zap and Megan is surrounded by friends! But soon, she finds herself making larger promises to her friends, and Megan’s at the cat clock again. But the fear of breaking her first-time popularity causes to lie about her true self. She can’t speak for herself, and lets people speak for her, for fear of losing her newfound friends. But then, catastrophe strikes! When magic comes with a price to pay, can Megan overcome the promises and magic, or will her voice be lost?
This book is really relatable and it’s filled with twists and turns as a girl depends on magic to make her friends and reputation, but she realizes that being herself is the only way to keep prices -and lies- at bay.
