Genuine Sweet

Image result for genuine sweet 

Genuine comes from a family of wish fetchers.  She can whistle to the stars and receive a stream of star light.  She can then use the light to grant wishes.  The only thing she can't do is make wished for herself.  Once Genuine learns about this gift she starts making wish biscuits and helping her town.  Her new friend Jula also has the great idea of using the wished to solve a world problem like hunger.  Unfortunately things get a bit out of hand and Genuine learns that not every problem can be solved with wishes - sometimes it just takes love, determination, and friendship.  

I enjoyed the book.  genuine has a unique voice and she really learns and grows throughout the book.  While "magic" plays a role - she learns that not everything can be solved with magic.  I was a bit confused about the ending - her wish was left hanging...  Overall a good read.
