Wish Girl by Nikki Loftin

3.0

Thanks to self-quarantine mandatory, now I can read a whole book only in a day! Since English is not my first language and commuting usually kept me busy — ah well, anyway, this book is simply mesmerizing. It's a children story, I can easily guess the whole plot just by reading the first pages. But the way the writer describes each moment, it feels magical to me.
Someday, she would come back. I knew it, like I knew how to be quiet, how to be still, how to listen. She would return to the valley and run with me through the soft thorn bushes, past the sleeping snakes, across meadows of fossils and flowers, through streams that flowed with water cleaner and purer than rain, followed by clouds of dragonflies and sparrows, butterflies and lightning bugs playing games in the sky. She would come back to us, and we would all be transformed, again and again.
