June receives a mystery package from her grandmother, and is surprised to find a wheel inside, along with instructions to spin the wheel each day and follow the chosen prompt. It helps June get to know many of the other students in her class, but can it help her make friends with the new girl?
Mae and June and the Wonder Wheel is a cute story about friendship, jealousy, and developing new social skills. The trope of wanting to make friends with the new girl is pretty common, but the wheel adds a little extra fun. While cute, the talking dog felt extraneous in a story that was otherwise pretty well-grounded in reality.
