Jodi L says:
In this enchantingly fun middle grade romcom, West African trickster god Anansi said, "Be careful what you wish for," and Birdie said, "Bet."
Birdie has big plans for eighth grade, including getting a boyfriend, but after her best friend Deve fights against it, the trickster West African god Anansi appears and grants Birdie's wish, which she soon regrets and tries to undo.

Just your local, easily excitable children's librarian here! I am but a simple bookworm created by Kate DiCamillo, sustained by Emily Henry and a medley of horror writers, with an inner dialogue narrated by Julia Whelan. When I'm not at the library, you can catch me at the movies, practicing yoga or on my couch binge-watching a sitcom from the mid-aughts.
