The Wishing Window Well

"Never underestimate what might enter into your world, even though it be through something as ordinary as a window well. "Goldfish didn't count, at least not to Allison. For just as long as she had loved mashed potatoes, she had wished for a pet. Once she had a goldfish. But again, they didn't count. Not in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that the oddest of pets would begin to enter her world through an ordinary window well. Young readers will identify with Allison's longing for her very own pet and the frustrations she encounters in never quite getting exactly what she wished for."
