Did you know that every time a wish is made it is heard and might come true courtesy of a Granter? However, it requires a certain amount of magic which is running low. Ophelia goes out on her first wish-granting assignment and finds that it isn't as easy as she thinks.

"A wish is many things. It is hope and desire and daydreams. It is impossibility and improbability and something in between. It is stardust and well water and spectrums of light in the sky. It is half-melted birthday candles and Christmas lists. It is broken turkey bones. It is the willing suspension of disbelief. And sometimes it is desperation. It is a hole in your heart that wants filling."   Well said.

Although there is a girl and boy main character, girls will be drawn to this book.
