+What could go wrong? You could wish for ANYTHING in the world! And yet, the inhabitants of the small, dusty desert town where wishes come true are all unhappy, it seems. Especially the protagonist (Eldon?--he has a weird, uncommon name).
No wish seems to turn out the way the wisher wants--the first few chapters of this book hint at the tragic death of a little girl, a father with a disabling illness or injury, and multiple characters with depression. Eldon narrates his own story with sarcasm laced with angst and confusion--how should he wish? Should he wish at all??
On his eighteenth birthday, Eldon has to make a choice, and what he chooses might change everything...for better or for worse. (But best of all, he shares my birthday, May 27!! First fictional character ever to share my birthday!)
