After Ted Evans' father leaves for a six-month military stint, Pop Chewy gives eighth-grader Ted an old, tattered lamp to keep him company. Ted discovers the lamp holds a young genie his age who offers to grant him wishes. When his friend Lenny stops over, Ted inadvertently makes two wishes that leaves him as a social outcast and places Lenny's life in jeopardy. If Ted makes the wish he really wants-for his father to safely come home in six months-he will have used his last wish and he won't be able to undo his other two wishes. What's a wish-waster to do?
