This book was really a very neat story. The way that each of the wishes were granted or played out was exactly the reason that they always say you get what you wish for. The thought that had to be put into the wish in order to even try to get what you actually wanted was crazy. It was no wonder they had a class you had to take before it was time for your birthday and your wish. And no wonder the mayor wanted to know what you were wishing for. What I liked most about this book though, was finding out exactly what people had wished for, and how it had worked out for them. So many of the adults that had things go wrong with their wishes, so sad, so poignant. I wrote my own wish on the little card that came with my ARC, and now I realize the way I had worded it, while what I probably would have said at the age of 18, wouldn't have probably ended up the way I wanted.
