Forget the old adage that cautions against wishing. The sixteen stories in this latest Fiction River contain just the right amount of heart, magic, pathos, and even hope. From a daughter hoping to save her father with a crash-course in wishery to an unfortunate victim at the wrong end of someone else's wish, these stories show teens trying to wish away their problems—with often unexpected results. But no matter the dilemma, this volume of Fiction River promises to lift your spirits and remind you just how much magic the universe offers.
"Fiction River: Wishes is a themed anthology with YA stories. It's always a risk writing stories for such a well-worn trope, but there is still room for new variations and the book manages to find more than just a few." —Tangent Online
"[Fiction River: Wishes] makes great reading." —Tangent Online
