Be careful what you wish for. This seems to be a very relevant theme in this book. In a town where you get to have one wish granted on your 18th birthday, not everyone is happy with the outcomes.

There is definitely a coming of age feel to this story even with the paranormal aspects of the wishing. Eldon is going through some tough life situations and has to really think about what he wants to do next.

I think readers of YA fiction will really enjoy this story. There are some very sad parts, and some humorous ones. All in all it's a very neat story and idea that was well thought out and put together.
