wish [wish]: v. to want; desire; to long for.

"You don't make wishes?" he made a face. I scowled.
"That's not the point. I'm granting a wish, and I need your help," I snapped, tired of this pointless conversation.

I met his eyes and thought of Grandpa. Not like I had a choice.
"Deal."

Beverly Ace Morrow has never been one for wishes. She sees them as greedy thoughts cast on sparkling objects; wishes don't happen by chance--they come true by hard work.

But when her grandfather gives her the task of granting his last wish, Ace embarks on an adventure and discovers that perhaps wishing has a different side from what she's seen.
