Peony Watercolor's Wish for Sun and Moon

by Robyn Field

Overview

Twelve-year-old Peony Watercolor is keeping a secret from her two best friends: Her parents are out of work, and they might have to sell their beloved, story-filled Reading House, pack everything into ugly brown boxes, and move to a different state.

Peony will do anything to save her family's Reading House, so when Hollyfield Middle School announces that the talent show's grand prize is $1,000, she signs up, determined to win. While she thinks a cash prize will save her, the school's mysterious new librarian, Lenora, seems to have other ideas. Lenora gives Peony a magic book that might know Peony better than Peony knows herself-a book that contains stories, recipes, poems, and instructions to guide Peony and hold her together while the rest of her world falls apart.

When the fraying threads of Peony's home life, secrets, and the talent show finally begin to unravel, she must uncover the meaning of the magical book or risk losing not only the Reading House, but also the friendships she loves most.

About the Author

Robyn Field's love of words began with her dad who, instead of planning family road trips around rest stops or gas stations, planned their travels around the locations of bookstores along the highway. She can still tell you the exits of all the best bookstores from Atlanta to the Gulf Coast. Now, in between adventures with her husband and their two children, Robyn writes middle grade fiction, poetry, and music. She is a 2017 Writer's Digest award winner and a 2019 Pitch Wars alumna. When she's not writing or cutting the crusts off toddler sandwiches, Robyn enjoys playing the guitar, running, singing in her church choir, and counting down the days until her next bookstore road trip.
