To Felix's amazement, he learns that the old man is a Wishkeeper, and he needs an apprentice! But being a Wishkeeper's apprentice isn't just about organizing incoming wishes and untangling wish snags: a strange wolf-man who's been haunting Felix's dreams is real and a threat to every wish that has ever been granted in the town of Whittlestone, the town's Wishkeeper, and Felix himself. With lively illustrations, this sweet adventure bubbles with charm and heart.

Even as more people wish on the bear and their wishes come true, Newt is not convinced. But Newt has a wish too: while he loves his home on eccentric Murphy Island, he wants to go to middle school on the mainland, where his warm extended family lives. There, he's not the only Latinx kid, he won't have to drive the former taco truck--a gift from his parents--and he won't have to perform in the talent show. Most importantly, on the mainland, he never has bad dreams about the attack. Newt is almost ready to make a secret wish when everything changes. Tackling themes of survival and self-acceptance, Newt's story illuminates the magic in our world, where reality is often uncertain but always full of salvageable wonders."--Jacket.

Nesbit, E.

The five children find a cantankerous sand fairy or 'psammead' in a gravel pit. Every day 'It' will grant each of them a wish that lasts until sunset, often with disastrous consequences. Five Children and It was first published in 1902, and it has remained in print ever since. The Introduction to this edition examines Nesbit's life and her reading, showing how she was poised between the Victorian world and a new era in which children in literature were no longer mere projections of the adult viewpoint. Sandra Kemp examines how the narrative is structured around the acting out of literary fantasies, which always come down to earth. Nesbit combines wonderfully implausible events with the prosaic and familiar, and Kemp illuminates her exploration of the shifting relationship between imagination, literature, and life.

The apple tree would be something, if it weren't for the stealing. Her miserable days are spent hobbling up and down the hill, to shoo away the apple thieves. So when one day a lowly gentleman knocks at the door, asking for a meal in exchange for a wish, Old Misery is quick to accept. She wishes that whoever tries to steal apples off her tree will get stuck to it until she lets them go. Everything goes well for a long while, until there is another knock at the door. "Daisy me!" says Old Misery. It's Death come at last. But clever Old Misery has learned a thing or two in her long life. "I'm ready to go with you any time, Mr. D, only maybe you'd oblige me with one last little fancy ...?" Her only wish, she says, is to have one last sweet apple from her tree. So Mr. D climbs to the top of the tree, where the apples are the reddest and the sweetest, and chooses one. But when it comes to getting down, he finds he's stuck fast! He dangles there all that autumn, all of winter, into spring, and well into summer. And then one day, Old Misery says to him: "I'll tell you how it's going to be, Mr. D. You can come down if you let me live forever. Yep, forever. And you can do the same for old Rutterkin here, too." And Mr. D has no choice but to grant her wish. Now, you might think immortality would cheer her up, but it turns out it's not Old Misery who has the last laugh ... And that's how Misery comes to be the itch that can't be scratched."--

When it becomes clear that she can't solve the mystery on her own, Olive teams up with some unlikely allies who help her learn the truth about the bird.
