Product Description
One wish for a lifetime...
In the village of Bishop Mayne there is a magical Wishing Well where a person may make one wish in a lifetime. But the Well can create problems for those who use its power, for wishes often go wrong. It was just such a wish that took all the children in the town away. Only eleven-year-old Nuria, who lives with her grandfather up on the mountain, remains.
Then one child returns -- Catty Winter. Catty's legs are mysteriously crippled, and Catty desperately wants Nuria to make a wish so she can walk again. Nuria swears she will make the wish for her friend. But the Well has a mind of its own. What if Nuria's wish qoes wrong?

janie (USA: AK) (2008/03/14):
Same old lesson 'Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it' new twist. They all knew not to use the well, but a wish! That is going to come true for sure!!! Only they never expect what happens after the wish. I liked the Lessons buried in the story. You can fight with a friend and still be friends/or disagree if you perfer. A parent will always know their own child and love them best. And my favorite what you get in the end isn't what you truely wanted. janie
