Billy Miller Makes a Wish
Kevin Henkes
On his eighth birthday, Billy Miller wishes for something exciting, then hears sirens outside and learns that his elderly neighbor, Mr. Tooley, has died. During the following week, Billy, his mother, and his younger sister Sal begin clearing the basement while his artist father is away. A bat, old love letters, sympathy cards, marker tattoos, and Sal’s post-office game shape a week of unsettling and comic family events.
