| Publisher Description: 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. |
