"The highly anticipated follow up to Wish, which has spent six years on the New York Times bestseller list and is beloved by over two million readers. Dream follows a small town girl with big aspirations who discovers that anything is possible with your best friends and an adorable pup by your side!
The sky is the limit.
Idalee Lovett is content with her life in small-town Colby, North Carolina, living in her family’s huge house with rooms for rent. But she has big dreams, just like her mama. While Mama is on tour for the summer with her cover band, Lovey Lovett and the Junkyard Dogs, Idalee decides to hone her craft as a songwriter—since her truest wish is to hear her country songs on the radio one day.
When the local radio station announces a songwriting contest with the winning song being recorded by an up-and-coming singer, Idalee is determined to win. It would definitely be possible if only she could buy the shiny blue guitar in Asheville’s music shop. Idalee doesn’t have much money, but she knows exactly how to get it—the long-lost treasure her late granddaddy hid somewhere in their house. With the help of her friends Odell, Howard, Charlie, and an adorable little dog named Wishbone, Idalee is going to search in every nook and cranny until she finds it. But little does she know, the biggest treasure of all is only discovered when you believe in yourself with your whole heart.
In this standalone companion to the #1 New York Times bestseller Wish, nothing is impossible as Idalee learns the power of chasing her dreams one guitar strum at a time.

"Seit sie denken kann, hegt die elfjährige Charlie denselben geheimen Wunsch: eine richtige Familie zu haben. Jeden Tag nutzt sie mindestens eine Chance dazu, sich dies zu wünschen, wie z.B. ein gefundener Penny, eine Sternschnuppe oder ein vierblättriges Kleeblatt. Da ihre Eltern nicht in der Lage sind, sich um sie zu kümmern, muss sie zu ihrer Tante und ihrem Onkel, die sie kaum kennt, ins ländliche North Carolina ziehen. Die beiden nehmen Charlie warmherzig auf. Doch die aufgestaute Wut und Trauer um ihre familiären Umstände bringen Charlie in ihrem neuen Leben immer wieder in Schwierigkeiten. Bis sie auf Wish trifft, einen streunenden Hund, der ihr Herz erobert, und Howard, einen Nachbarsjungen, der ihr Freund wird. Durch die beiden lernt Charlie ihre Wut besser zu kontrollieren und erkennt, dass die Familie, die sie sich seit Jahren gewünscht hat, näher ist, als sie denkt!"
"Martin longs to be a musician. But a piano wouldn't fit in his mobile home, even if his father would let him have one. Martin's father wants him to play baseball and forget about all that 'sissy' music stuff. If it weren't for the harmonica he plays when he's out of the house, and the music he creates in his head when his father is yelling at him, Martin would have no music at all. Then he sees a violin for sale for $50 in a pawn shop window, and he can think of nothing else. There's just one problem: he only has $12.78. Will one of his friends in the Paradise Trailer Park help him solve his dilemma, or will Martin's love of music go forever unrequited? In this engaging audiobook, filled with humor, pathos, and a colorful cast of offbeat characters, Barbara O'Connor shows that friendship and dreams can accomplish miracles-even in Paradise. Jeff Woodman's lively narration and wonderful Southern accents create a diverse and believable cast of characters."
"Walter Tipple is looking for adventure. He keeps having a dream that his big brother, Tank, appears before him and says, “Let’s you and me go see my world,
little man.” But Tank left for the army and never came home, and Walter doesn’t know how to see the world without him. Then he meets Posey, the brash new girl
from next door, and an eccentric man named Banjo, who’s off on a bodacious adventure of his own. What follows is a summer of taking chances, becoming
braver, and making friends—and maybe Walter can discover who he wants to be without the brother he always wanted to be like.
Halfway to Harmony is an utterly charming story about change and growing up from the acclaimed and bestselling author Barbara O’Connor."
