Twelve-year old Wunder Ellis became a “miraclologist” when he was five years old. He  documents the miracles he sees in the world in his journal. When his infant sister passes away, Wunder stops looking for miracles. With the help of his friend Faye and a strange old woman in town, Wunder will believe in miracles again. This fantasy story about loss and grief will strike a chord with some middle grade readers. However, the theme comes across in a heavy-handed manner and the pacing is slow at times.  (Grades 4-6)
