The Bridge of Stars: Miri's Wish

By RJ Conlon

A magical chapter book about courage, friendship, and the light we carry inside.

On the night of her tenth birthday, quiet and thoughtful Miri Hartwell makes a secret wish: she wants to be brave.

Then something impossible appears in her backyard.

A bridge made of starlight stretches into the sky, glowing beneath the old oak tree. Before Miri can decide whether to run inside or take a closer look, her fearless best friend Liza arrives, and Chester-Miri's plump, opinionated orange cat-does something even more impossible.

He starts talking.

Together, Miri, Liza, and Chester step onto the Bridge of Stars and into a breathtaking world of floating realms, whispering shadows, puzzling doors, hidden truths, and magical tests that seem to know exactly what each of them fears most.

For Miri, the journey becomes more than an adventure. It becomes a test of the wish she made before blowing out her candles. To find her way home, she must learn that bravery is not being loud, fearless, or certain. Sometimes bravery is quieter than that. Sometimes it looks like telling the truth, helping a friend, facing the dark, or taking one more step when your heart is pounding.

Full of wonder, humor, heart, and unforgettable characters, The Bridge of Stars: Miri's Wish is a whimsical middle grade fantasy adventure for young readers who love magical worlds, loyal friendships, talking animals, and stories that remind them they are braver than they think.
