Synopsis

A hilarious, original look at what would happen if all your wishes came true. Perfect for fans of Edward Eager's Half Magic and Patrick Skene Catling's The Chocolate Touch!

Eleven-year-old Sam has a problem. Well, quite a few problems. So when he sees a shooting star, he naturally wishes on it--for a million wishes. Of course, he doesn't expect the wish to come true, but somehow it does. Sam has fun experimenting with wishes--he can change anything he wants. But when he discovers that changing things has consequences that aren't always good, he begins to think again.
