About the Book: 

Due to the recent death of Oliver's great-aunt Barb, he and his mom finally have a place to call home. The house is filled with delicately pinned butterflies and Raymond, great-aunt Barb's taxidermy cat. There's even a strange mail slot on a wall that leads to nowhere...or possibly a magical dimension? Could this be the key to Oliver having his biggest wishes granted? Join author Vera Brosgol to find out what Oliver wishes for in her newest, illustrated middle grade novel.
