Reminiscent of When You Reach Me and Walk Two Moons, a story with mystery, magic, and a girl being forced to grow up by her reality.

A magical breadbox that delivers whatever you wish for—as long as it fits inside? It's too good to be true! Twelve-year-old Rebecca is struggling with her parents' separation, as well as a sudden move to her gran's house in another state. For a while,  the magic bread box, discovered in the attic, makes life away from home a little easier. Then suddenly it starts to make things much, much more difficult, and Rebecca is forced to decide not just where, but who she really wants to be. Laurel Snyder's most thought-provoking book yet.

Praise for Bigger Than A Bread Box

Praise for Bigger than a Breadbox:

"As miraculous an insight about divorce as anyone could hope to have."--The New York Times

"Insightful, memorable, and complex . . ."--Publishers Weekly

"Snyder weaves in her magic without letting it take over and become the focus. Rebecca's choices are not always understandable, but her heartache is. The slightly over-the-top resolution will be both scary and satisfying to readers. This is solid fiction for the elementary crowd. It doesn't rely on one-dimensional bad guys and doesn't let readers think that the good guys are flawless."--School Library Journal
