The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride

At 100 years old, Murray McBride has outlived everyone he loved. With his wife gone and his family distant, he is ready for his own story to end—until he meets someone with the opposite problem.

Ten-year-old Jason Lindsay has a failing heart and a ticking clock. He has five big wishes he wants to fulfill before his time runs out, and Murray is the only one who can help him. In "The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride," Joe Siple crafts a heart-wrenching yet life-affirming tale of an unlikely bond between a man at the end of his journey and a boy fighting to start his.

As this mismatched duo embarks on a mission to tick off Jason’s bucket list—from hitting a home run to finding a first kiss—Murray discovers that having a reason to live is more powerful than any medicine. This bestselling novel is a poignant, humorous, and deeply moving reminder that it is never too late to make a difference or to find a new best friend. Prepare to laugh, cry, and fall in love with the man who thought he had nothing left to give.
