Summary

"Sixth grade is off to a difficult start for Josephine Rose Silver. 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 <i>Gothamite</i> magazines and tells her students to craft 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 soccer 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. With a pinch of magic, mystery, art history, and language arts woven into a journey of growth, this promising debut is a heartfelt and satisfying tribute to the power of words." --Book jacket
