Willa, a romantic girl who wants a father, tries to find a husband for her mother, Cape Cod's most popular wedding planner. Twelve-year-old Willa Havisham is a classics reader, a cherry-cordial eater, and quite possibly the world's worst wisher. But when she and her glamorous single mother, Stella, move to Bramble, Cape Cod, Willa's wishes are beginning to come true: She makes her first-ever best friend, Tina. She bonds with her hip, candy-making nana. And best of all, steely Stella is falling for Willa's English teacher, Sam -- he's perfect dad material! But before Willa can marry off her mother, or dance with her adorable crush, Joseph, a pit gets stuck in the wishing well.... Can Willa undo the damage before Stella misses her chance to say "I do"? Find out as Coleen Murtagh Paratore unveils humor, hope, and lots of love in one hopelessly romantic modern fairy tale! Annotation.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

wedding planner's daughter submitted by mwallagm on August 26, 2011, 8:23pm this book is really good!
I love the characters and the circumstances, but the beggining is a little slow, but it gets better farther in.
i'm pretty sure it's a series but not positive...
4 stars!****

Good submitted by edwardsrl on November 14, 2011, 7:37pm It's a nice book, not my favorite, but quite good, it is a bit old for nine year olds though.
