About this ebook

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.

This book is AWSOME: Griffin Penshine is always making wishes.But when a sinister old women named Mariah tricks her into accepting a box of eleven shiny Indian head pennies,Griffin soon learns that these a team no ordinary pennies-but swollen wishes. read more and hope you not like it but LOVE IT

Griffin Penshine has become a wish stealer. How dcid this happen? Given a set of wishing pennies by an old lady, she discovers they are stolen wishes and are therefore cursed. The rules say if she makes a wish for good it will go bad, and if she makes an evil wish it will come true. Griffin must return the pennies to the original owners or to someone who has a wish similar to the wish of the original owner. Maybe it is because I'm a dreamer and have always loved making wishes that made this book so charming to me. The theme of doing something good for the world was a message that ran throughout. I loved the book and can't wait to recommend it to my students.

Everyone plz read this book. You have will enjoy it
