It’s #BookQW and Fern makes a usual ‘wish’!
More from Chapter 1:
It looked ordinary enough, but their bathroom held a secret. That secret allowed Fern to keep two promises this weekend—to Mom that she’d be safe at home and to Gran that she’d be there for their inspection.
Pulling out the pouch, Fern removed a glass piece on a fine chain. She’d found the long teardrop among her mom’s things and had taken it for dress-up when she’d been little, but she didn’t think Mom had made this piece. The color-flecked glass wasn’t one Mom used. And it did something no other glasswork of Mom’s did.
As she always did, Fern held the glass on her flat hand. “I wish to go to Gran’s.”
The glass glowed bright green and warmed her palm. A wind rose, circling her hand and then her, whipping her loose hair around her face. Light from the teardrop rose into the air, changing as it did. Bright green, to sage, yellow green, rusty brown, chestnut brown and back to bright green again. She braced her legs against the current until the light settled on the wall, swirling round and round in a perfect doughnut. The doughnut grew, nearly touching the floor and not quite reaching above her head.
Portal? Gateway? Wormhole? Fern called it her rabbit hole.

Sneaking out was never so…magical. Fern’s gran’s land is breaking apart and needs a real witch to take over. Caring for the Meadows is Fern’s birthright, one she longs to claim. But to take her place in this magical world, Fern must first figure out how to use her unique gift.
Plant yourself in the delightful coming-of-age story that begins The Windborne series.
