When she wishes on the Success stone for the courage to try out for dance club, Lexi wows the entire auditorium with. . .singing? And when she wishes on the Health stone, her little brother starts squeaking like a hamster. This isn't the first time those wishing stones have been wished on -- and secondhand wishes come with unexpected consequences!This sweet and funny story from Anna Staniszewski is perfect for anyone who's wished for a dash of magic in their day!
