(3) 4-6 While ice fishing, Charlie catches a talking, emerald-eyed fish who offers her a wish in exchange for its release. More wishes follow, with increasingly unexpected results, until Charlie determines how to help her family when her college-student sister, Abby, becomes addicted to heroin. This magical-realism story is a thoughtful take on the opiate crisis's reach and one family's struggle to cope.
