Down with the Shine

Think twice before you make a wish in this imaginative, twisted, and witty novel from the author of Another Little Piece.

When Lennie brings a few jars of her uncles’ moonshine to Michaela Gordon’s house party, she has everyone who drinks it make a wish. It’s tradition. So is the toast her uncles taught her: “May all your wishes come true, or at least just this one.”

The thing is, those words aren’t just a tradition. The next morning, every wish—no matter how crazy—comes true. And most of them turn out bad. But once granted, a wish can’t be unmade . . .

  • Wishes Gone Wrong: Lennie’s uncles taught her the toast was just a tradition. They lied. Now a party full of crazy wishes has come true, and none of them can be unmade.
  • Magical Realism: This isn’t a fairy tale. In Lennie Cash’s world, magic is brewed in a bathtub, served in a mason jar, and has a nasty hangover.
  • Dark Humor: A witty, sarcastic narrator grapples with the hilariously twisted consequences when her classmates’ deepest desires turn into their worst nightmares.
  • Family Secrets: As the daughter of a famous criminal, Lennie thought she knew all about her family’s shady business. But the truth about her uncles’ moonshine is stranger than any crime.
