Bigger Than a Bread Box by Laurel Snyder

To escape her disappointing marriage, Rebecca's mom moves herself and her children to Atlanta to live with her mother.  Rebecca had no warning about this sudden move and has a difficult time adjusting to Atlanta.  In her grandmother's old house she discovers a bread box that grants wishes.  Is its power enough to heal her parents' marriage or will it cause harm?
Well written-explores the complicated feelings of a troubled marriage very well.
Points to discuss/warnings: stealing, marital troubles, bullies, the cost of fitting in with a group of kids, strangers
