The central conflict revolves around Beany's thoughtful, and sometimes anxious, deliberation over when and for what to use this singular wish. This gentle chapter book, suitable for ages 4-11, explores themes of decision-making, responsibility, and the value of friendship. It's a wonderful story for sparking conversations about what truly matters and the weight of a big choice.
Beany has a magic wishing crystal, but since it will grant only one wish, she holds it in reserve waiting for the perfect moment to use it.
