Haylee and Comet: A Tale of Cosmic Friendship by Deborah Marcero - NO

Haylee and Comet: A Tale of Cosmic Friendship
by Deborah Marcero
72 pages EARLY READER Roaring Brook Press (Macmillan), 2021 $18.00 9781250774392 

EL (K-3) - NOT RECOMMENDED 

When Haylee makes a wish on a falling star, it becomes a wish she can catch, it's a comet looking for friend. Turns out they had both wished for a friend. So Comet stays with Haylee for a few days and they learn about friendship. 

I so hoped this would be about wishing - so sweet until the comet appeared, then the book just got weird and stopped making sense. Driven mostly by dialogue, the episodes in this early reader chapter book are just too strange.
