ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Olive and her friends Theo and Lola find a pretty stone in a cave overlooking San Francisco Bay. When Olive makes a wish while holding the stone, it comes true and remains in force for a week. The friends take it in turns to wish, but it’s hard to keep such things secret. Soon they realise other, less innocent, people are looking for the stone too...

Underlying themes about fulfilment and satisfaction, and what’s really important in life, don’t get in the way of a rattling good adventure! Ages 9-12 Lindy

An exciting new adventure story from the author of Alex and the Alpacas Save the World and Alex and the Alpacas Ride Again.

When Olive and her friends find a mysterious stone and discover it grants wishes, they think their lives are made. Sure, they're going to save the world and all that stuff, but there are a few fun things they want to do first. Then they realise other people are looking for the stone. People who will stop at nothing to get it ...

As the stakes get higher, secrets are kept, loyalties are questioned, and promises are broken. How much are Olive and her friends willing to risk to make all their dreams come true?

Sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always gripping, this is an endearing story of friendship, family and navigating your way in the world.
