About the book: Maya Amir of Washington, D.C. is having a bad day. Her family visiting from out of town have taken over her room, and worst of all, an annoying classmate has taken over the Environmental Club but doesn’t seem to care about the environment the way Maya does.
Then Maya receives a mysterious, magic bracelet in the mail from Lucy, a girl in Fort Worth, Texas, who had the bracelet last time. The bracelet grants wishes and Maya is having a hard time deciding what to wish for. Until she accidentally wishes to be in charge during a meeting of the Environmental Club. Suddenly, Maya is the head of the club!
Maya does her best but soon, she’s overwhelmed by her newfound responsibilities, and she’s terrified she’s going to let everyone down. With the support of her new long-distance friends, Addie, Becca, and Lucy, and some help from her family, can Maya untangle the bracelet’s magic, all while learning what it means to be a real leader?
