And with a recent move across the country and the prospect of new friends at a new school-seventh grade doesn't sound promising. In fact, she's determined not to go at all. Mona begins to dream, hope, and wish for a way out. She's grown up hearing stories of fairy tales and magical worlds-of beanstalks and transportable wardrobes-but do they really exist? When she stumbles upon a strange seed and determines to plant it, hopeful it might grow into her means of escape, she realizes she may have planted more than she bargained for. The Wishing Seed is a coming-of-age tale about two sisters, new friendships, love, and forgiveness-all the while exploring what it means to bear good fruit. With just a little wish, trust, and silver dust, will Mona find what she's looking for? Or will her secrets ruin everything she's planned?

Book excerpt: "There are so few genuinely entertaining novels around that we ought to cheer whenever one turns up. Continuous, fizzing energy…Honey for the Bears is a triumph." —Kingsley Amis, New York Times A sharply written satire, Honey for the Bears sends an unassuming antiques dealer, Paul Hussey, to Russia to do one final deal on the black market as a favor for a dead friend's wife. Even on the ship's voyage across, the Russian sensibility begins to pervade: lots of secrets and lots of vodka. When his American wife is stricken by a painful rash and he is interrogated at his hotel by Soviet agents who know that he is trying to sell stylish synthetic dresses to the masses starved for fashion, his precarious inner balance is thrown off for good. More drink follows, discoveries of his wife's illicit affair with another woman, and his own submerged sexual feelings come breaking through the surface, bubbling up in Russian champagne and caviar.
