About this listen
“Young listeners are in for a treat.”—AudioFile
Magic, mystery, and a marvelous mailbox take two kids on a surprising adventure and, even, to a new dimension in this middle grade audiobook from bestselling comics creator Vera Brosgol. Perfect for fans of Greenwild and The Lost Library.
Be careful what you wish for…
After everything they’ve been through, Oliver and his mom finally have a place to call home. But Oliver’s fresh start feels more like a dead-end at his fancy new private school, where kids fly in on helicopters, wear the latest and most expensive sneakers, and go on luxury vacations. Oliver is only there because his mom’s the school custodian.
Oliver wishes his life could be easier. And then one day, after slipping a wish into a mysterious mail slot, it suddenly comes true. Pizza for dinner? Yes! The rarest sneakers in the world? Yes! Everything he could ever want, without spending a cent? Yes, yes, yes!
Oliver’s dreams are finally within his grasp… but what happens when he discovers that his wishes don’t come for free?
A Macmillan Audio production from Roaring Brook Press.

★"Readers will resonate with sensitive and empathetic Oliver, whose pie-in-the-sky desires and earnest, grief-fueled yearning for his father are achingly heartfelt."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"I wish all artists were as wonderful as Vera Brosgol. I wish all stories were as exciting as this one. I wish for a thousand more wishes. I wish that you would just open this book and start reading it."—Lemony Snicket, bestselling author of A Series of Unfortunate Events
"Return to Sender is a tenderhearted and madcap story about the power of desire and the havoc it can bring on the world around us. Brosgol’s gifts as a storyteller shine through in these pages."—Colin Meloy, bestselling author of Wildwood
