The Wish

Be careful what you wish for . . .

Wilma Sturtz is invisible and miserable at school. So when an old lady on the subway offers her a wish, Wilma immediately asks for popularity–in fact, she asks to be the most popular kid at school.

Suddenly, Wilma has more friends than she can keep track of, forty dates to the Grad Night Dance, and a secret admirer writing her love poems. Everything is great, until she realizes there’s a loophole in her wish, and her time in the spotlight has almost run out.

“A highly entertaining, funny, poignant modern fairy tale.” –Kirkus Reviews

Gail Carson Levine portrays an unpopular girl perfectly!

This is a great book and I think it should be up there with Ella Enchanted!

Finally Not A Princess story!

ELLA ENCHANTED is what the author is knwon for best. She writes lots of books with kings and queens, princes and princesses. Think CINDERELLA! But this was finally more modern and of course with magic and still for kids. How is that not the perfect makings for a great read!

I loved it so much
