Pumpkin Spice Up Your Life: A Wish Novel by Nelson, Suzanne

Get ready to fall in love! This middle grade rom-com features an adorable bag charm and gorgeous stained edges!

Nadine and Daniel have been best friends pretty much since birth. While she has her music rehearsals and he has his snowboarding, the two of them always make time to meet up at the Snug Mug, where Daniel works, for their catch-ups over Daniel's special pumpkin spice lattes.

But their daily routine is shaken up when a new girl, Kiya, starts at their school. Daniel falls head over heels for Kiya the second he sees her. Which would be fine . . . if Nadine hadn't recently realized she might be falling for Daniel herself. Nadine knows she has to find the courage to tell Daniel how she feels, but what if she's already lost her chance? And what if she loses Daniel as a friend...forever?

Full of warmth and humor, and featuring delicious stained edges as well as a beautiful bag charm, this romance about first crushes and friendship is the perfect sweet treat as the leaves begin to turn!
