Description

Lexi has always tried to keep the chaos of life under control by keeping to a carefully planned schedule, but one day everything goes wrong. When she finds a bag of four wishing stones, she suddenly has new levels of chaos to deal with.

Quick Summary

Lexi's obsessive need for control collides with four magical wishing stones that turn her carefully planned world into hilariously unexpected mayhem, giving every perfectionist kid a wish-they-could-look-away story. Kids will laugh out loud as Lexi's wishes backfire in increasingly ridiculous ways while secretly rooting for her to learn that letting go isn't the end of the world. If your kid loves "The Terrible Two" or "Escape This Book! Bill Doyle," they'll absolutely devour this story about wishes gone sideways. Perfect for ages 9-12 in grades 4-6 who enjoy school stories with humor and just a dash of magic.
