The Wish Stealers

By Tracy Trivas

Book Overview

When a sinister old woman leaves Griffin Penshine a box of twelve shiny pennies, she sets in motion a desperate quest--because the old woman was a wish stealer, and each penny represents a wish she stole from a wishing fountain decades earlier. Somehow, Griffin has to make things right, or the opposite of her own wishes will come true--and it could literally be a matter of life and death. The Wish Stealers introduces a new voice in middle-grade fantasy, as bright and sparkling as Griffin's pennies.

Magical, wonderful book

Even though this is for a younger audience even adults will enjoy this wonderfully magical tale of making wishes by throwing coins in a magical fountain as it follows the story of one girl who stays strong to fulfil her destiny. With a very warm and charming ending!
