9 posts | 6 read | 17 to read
In the tradition of heartwrenching and hopeful middle grade novels such as Bridge to Terabithia comes Jess Redman's stunning debut about a young boy who must regain his faith in miracles after a tragedy changes his world. Eleven-year-old Wunder Ellis is a miracologist. In a journal he calls The Miraculous, he records stories of the inexplicable and the extraordinary. And he believes every single one. But then his newborn sister dies, at only eight days old. If that can happen, then miracles cant exist. So Wunder gets rid of The Miraculous. He stops believing. Then he meets Fayea cape-wearing, outspoken girl with losses of her own. Together, they find an abandoned house by the cemetery and a mysterious old woman who just might be a witch. The old woman asks them for their help. She asks them to believe. And they go on a journey that leads to friendship, to adventure, to healingand to miracles. The Miraculous is Jess Redmans sparkling debut novel about facing grief, trusting the unknown, and finding brightness in the darkest moments.

"All around us are miracles. Most are marvelous and wonderful and bright and so clearly seen. But not all. Because there can be miracles even in the midst of unfathomable sadness and anger, even in the depths of grief and confusion. And these, these are the hidden ones, the ones we must search for."

In a journal he calls The Miraculous, Ellis records stories of the inexplicable and the extraordinary. And he believes every single one. But then his sister dies. If that can happen, then miracles can’t exist. So he gets rid of The Miraculous and stops believing.

Then he meets Faye—a. Together, they find a house by the cemetery and a woman who just might be a witch. She asks them to believe. And they go on a journey that leads to miracles.

5/5🌟
Probably my favorite book of the year so far. Jess Redman perfectly captures that moment when a believer of miracles gets slapped in the face by reality and then gently brings us out of that dark hole again into the light. I just hugged this book after I finished it. Such a great story about grief, healing, and miracles. #amazonbookbox

Would you like a book that makes you cry pretty much the whole way through, then this is the book for you. I cried so freaking much reading this. Wunder is just an amazing character and to see one so young give up on believing in miracles over a tragic event is so heartbreaking. But Faye was the friend he needed and I love that girl to death. Truly a beautiful story.

Holy smokes this book is so beautiful so far. It‘s such a heartbreaking tale of a boy named Wunder, who loses all beliefs in miracles after the death of his baby sister. The story throws you right into it and the pain doesn‘t stop. I will say this little girl Faye he befriends is the kind of friend he needs right now. Is she eccentric and bit odd, yes, but she is there for him and that‘s what matters. I‘ve hit 90 pages, and don‘t want to stop.
