Review

A nice gentle read. While reading the book you feel as if you are just sitting around and talking with this young girl.

Genuine is a wish-fetcher, fourth generation. She shares with you how she learned to whistle down the stars' light and how she shares the power of the stars with others (magical biscuits), also her frustration of not being able to help her own family. She tells you about her life in her very small, southern town, her friends and her family. But life is not all wish-fetching. She lost her Mom at an early age, Dad is an alcoholic and out of work, and Gram dies. But even with all of that happening in her life, the story is very positive and an extremely good read.
