The Wishing Blanket

Kevin wants to escape his life, or, in the very least, make it out of New York City alive. Through the kindness of strangers and a chance encounter with a little girl and a blanket with special powers, his life is sent in a completely new direction if he is willing to take hold of the opportunity.

An Age-Regression-Gender Swap story only the way that Katie Leone can pull it off. This story reforms a sub-genre that has been oft used but not with the depth and attention to detail that it deserves. This is a story filled with compassion and realism that is often lacking in magical transformation stories.

This book is a quick read, that could be consumed in one or two sittings, but the points it raises can have you thinking for months. What if you can undo your life and start over again under better circumstances? Is the pain you know better than the possible pleasure you may obtain if you went through life again? Can a person who has been repeatedly hurt learn to be their most vulnerable? These questions and more are addressed in The Wishing Blanket.
