Rating/ Response: 4; This heart-wrenching book has the reader sitting on the edge of their seats; hoping for the best! It shows that not everything you wish for will make you happy. I love the ending and the message behind the book!
One question you would ask before a read aloud: What have you wished for? Did your wish come true? Did it make you happy?
