The Forgetting Spell

The Forgetting Spell is the second novel in Lauren Myracle's Wishing Day series. In Willow Hill, most people see Darya as the sharpest-tongued of the Blok sisters, but she feels everything deeply and keeps that tenderness hidden. Turning thirteen makes it harder to hide, and as her Wishing Day draws near, Darya wishes the tradition had never existed.

Years earlier, a wish her mother made tore the family apart. More recently, Darya's sister Natasha wished for their mother to come back. Darya believes the past should stay behind, so she has sealed her most painful memories in the far corners of her mind, where they cannot reach her. When some of those memories start to slip out, she must face a choice about what to wish for, and what to leave unwished, that may matter more than anything she has decided before.
