The Someday Suitcase

“Beautiful, true, and magical. This book touched my heart.” – Lauren Myracle, author the Wishing Day series

★ “Haydu’s second middle-grade novel is poignant and powerful. A heartbreaking story about the healing power of friendship amid human fragility.” – Booklist (starred review)

★ “In this moving, exquisitely written story, Corey Ann Haydu explores the thin line between science and magic within an intense bond of friendship.” – Shelf Awareness, starred review

“Haydu does not shield readers from hard truths, creating complex characters who face difficult situations. This sensitive work will strike an emotional chord with middle-graders.” – School Library Journal
