Book Description

Publication Date: 5 July 2012

A funny, bittersweet and irresisitible teenage romance, perfect for fans of Gayle Forman's If I Stay, Jenny Downham's Before I Die or Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall

A funny, bittersweet teenage romance for those who loved Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher.

Seventeen-year-old Campbell doesn't believe in miracles. She's spent the last five years in and out of hospitals, so she's pretty sceptical.

But Campbell's mum and sister won't give up. They've heard rumours of a place in Maine where magical things happen: fish raining from the sky, purple dandelions, everlasting sunsets. A place named Promise. Yes, really.

So they head to Promise for a holiday by the sea, where Cam meets mysterious neighbour Asher, a crazy donkey called James and a puppy who's a survivor. In Promise Cam learns to believe in true love, in herself, and maybe even in miracles.

This is Wendy Wunder's debut novel - and it lives up to her unusual surname! Wendy lives in Boston with her daughter and family and teaches yoga as well as writing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Similarities with 'Ways to Live Forever' and 'Before I Die' 29 Mar 2013
By K. J. Noyes
Format:Paperback
Nice. If you've read Before I Die or Ways to Live Forever (latter for younger readers) there are similarities on the theme.
The narrator is strong but I felt it clunky at times that the book was written in the third person rather than the first, which would have suited it better I felt.
That said, I enjoyed the plot and was very moved at the conclusion.
While not at all influenced/convinced by any cosmic or supernatural argument or 'incident' I'm as much as sucker as anyone for romantic coincidence and fuzzy feel-good magical happenings, so it was a lovely read, on a very sad theme.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wowser. 17 Nov 2012
By Wendybell
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not really one for depressing teen cancer books but this was so... different and well, original.

Seventeen-year-old Campbell doesn't believe in miracles. She's spent the last five years in and out of hospitals, so she's pretty skeptical.

But Campbell's mum and sister won't give up. They've heard rumors of a place in Maine where magical things happen: fish raining from the sky, purple dandelions, everlasting sunsets. A place named Promise. Yes, really.

So they head to Promise for a holiday by the sea, where Cam meets mysterious neighbor Asher, a crazy donkey called James and a puppy who's a survivor. In Promise Cam learns to believe in true love, in herself, and maybe even in miracles.

This book could have so easily been one big cheese ball... but it wasn't.
It's funny, crazy, moving and romantic. It's certainly not your average teen romance, it's 100X better.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Probability of Miracles is full of humour, things that might be miracles and Cam learning to trust herself and others. 17 Sep 2012
By lunaslittlelibrary
Format:Paperback
The Probability of Miracles begins with Cam finding out that there a no more treatments left, her mother unwilling to give up, takes Cam and her younger sister to Promise. A town that is supposedly full of miracles. Cam is unconvinced, she has other plans which involve crossing of items of her Flamingo List - the things she wants to do before she dies.

Cam is a sarcastic narrator but not as much as I thought given the cover blurb. She is also angry, worried and lovable. My favourite moments were her adopting Homer (he's a lobster) and trying to bring the miracles her mother and sister believe in to life.

The Flamigo List narrates a good part of the story, I liked the fact that her `wishes' didn't necessarily work out the way she wanted. The longer she stays in Promise the more her hardened exterior melts. There is a lot of growth between the Cam at the beginning of the book and Cam at the end.

The Probability of Miracles is full of humour, things that might be miracles and Cam learning to trust herself and others.
