About this item

“Imaginative, heart-warming. . . . A magical tale.” —A. F. Steadman, New York Times best-selling author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief When ten-year-old Felix drops a penny in the wishing fountain at the center of town, he really doesn’t expect his seventeen-year-old sister to suddenly like him again, or to offer to share a cinnamon bun or watch cartoons like they used to. She hasn’t even remembered she was supposed to give him a ride home! But someone else is at the fountain too: a strange old man with a fishing pole who claims to be invisible. To Felix’s amazement, he learns that the old man is a Wishkeeper, and he needs an apprentice! But being a Wishkeeper’s apprentice isn’t just about organizing incoming wishes and untangling wish snags. A strange wolf-man who’s been haunting Felix’s dreams is real and a threat to every wish that has ever been granted in the town of Whittlestone, the town’s Wishkeeper, and Felix himself. With
