Summary
Knowing her foster mother doesn't want her around and forced to take care of her kids all day, sixteen-year-old Lana wishes she could change her life, but when she goes to Miss Hekkity's mysterious shop and discovers she has hidden wishing powers, Lana realizes that getting everything one wants has its repercussions.

A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age

Sixteen-year-old Lana Morris wishes her life were different: her Ice Queen of a foster mother won't leave her alone, and she has no friends but the other foster kids she takes care of.

Then she stumbles into a mysterious antique shop and trades her most valued possession for a single box of drawing paper: thirteen thick, blank pages, like thirteen wishes waiting to be made. Suddenly, impossibly, it seems Lana might actually have the power to change things. But wishing isn't always as harmless as it seems...
