Then Lana stumbles into Miss Hekkity's mysterious shop, and she begins to realize that she might actually have the power to change things to make some of her wishes come true. But wishing isn't always as harmless as it seems....

Review
"If the reader can suspend disbelief, accept the magic and enjoy the oddness of the likeable cast of characters, including the neighbor boy Chet's basic good-heartedness, this is a good story about finding self and the essential sweetness of life among the dross that surrounds it." KLIATT
