As You Wish

From bestselling author Chelsea Sedoti comes a thought-provoking contemporary young adult book about a small desert town filled with Mojave magic where everyone gets to make a wish on their eighteenth birthday. If you could make one wish that was guaranteed to come true—what would you wish for?

Rules for Wishing:

• Never let an outsider find out about wishing. (Zip your lips and throw away the key.)
• Wishes that would impact the world are off limits (i.e. no bringing back the dinosaurs).
• Do no harm. (Murder = no bueno.)
• No time travel. (What's done is done, pal.)
• No bringing back the dead. (Come on. You've seen what happens in THE WALKING DEAD.)
• NEVER BREAK THE RULES. (Seriously. We mean it. See Rule #7.)
• There are always consequences.

Most of Eldon's classmates have had their wishes picked out for months, even years. Not Eldon. He's seen how wishing has hurt the people around him. His parents' marriage is strained, his sister is a virtual ghost in their house, his ex-girlfriend is dating his ex-friend...where does he even begin?

One thing is for sure: Eldon has only twenty-six days to figure it out—and the rest of his life to live with the consequences.
