Sage Sassafras’s life is cursed! No, really. Since birth, Sage has been plagued by the Contrarium Curse that’s set her at odds with classmate Priscilla Petty.
Every time something goes right for Priscilla, it goes terribly, horribly wrong for Sage. And things always go well for Priscilla.
Sage blames the curse for all her middle school misery—from losing a friend to failing gym to gaining a reputation as the girl whose daddy’s in trouble. So when Sage is given a magical candle on her twelfth birthday, she seizes the chance to turn her luck around—with a wish to reverse the curse.
But when the consequences of her wish take a terrible turn, Sage has to team up with her worst enemy—before she’s doomed to a life of opposites forever.
- Enemies to Friends: Sage and Priscilla are cursed to be opposites. When a wish goes haywire, these mortal enemies must work together, or risk being rivals forever.
- Wishes Gone Wrong: One magical birthday candle seems like the perfect solution to all of Sage’s problems, until her world-fixing wish only makes things hilariously, horribly worse.
- A Dash of Magic: A heartfelt and funny coming of age story about navigating middle school, friendship, and family when a bit of enchantment changes everything.
- Finding Your Own Luck: Perfect for readers who love relatable stories about tough family situations, figuring out who your real friends are, and making your own luck—even when you’re cursed.

Kim Tomsic was a classroom conversationalist and got in trouble (a lot!) with teachers for talking. The trouble spanned from the East Coast to the West Coast, because she was a military brat and the new girl at eight different schools. In between friendships, she discovered that a good book can be a welcomed companion. Her closest friends know that her favorite foods are ice cream, peanut M&Ms, and Li Hing Muis, and her favorite word is “possibilities.” Kim has two grown children and now lives in Arizona with her husband and dog; The 11:11 Wish is her first middle grade novel and is followed by The 12th Candle.
