(Come on. You've seen what happens in THE WALKING DEAD.) NEVER BREAK THE RULES. (Seriously. We mean it. See Rule #7.) There are always consequences. Most of Eldon's classmates have had their wishes picked out for months, even years. Not Eldon. He's seen how wishing has hurt the people around him. His parents' marriage is strained, his sister is a virtual ghost in their house, his ex-girlfriend is dating his ex-friend...where does he even begin?One thing is for sure: Eldon has only twenty-six days to figure it out―and the rest of his life to live with the consequences.Perfect for: Readers who like magical realism YA Fans of John Green, Jandy Nelson, and The Sun is Also a Star Educators and parents who want to start conversations about consequences People looking for young adult books best sellersAlso by Chelsea Sedoti: It Came from the SkyThe Hundred Lies of Lizzie LovettPraise for As You Wish: "Heartbreaking, other times hilarious, but always thought-provoking.
