(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Gris Grimly. Seventh grader Gabe becomes the new owner of a wish-granting imp in a bottle. Unfortunately, each wish causes someone else's misfortune. Worse yet, if Gabe dies before selling the bottle, the Devil gets his soul. While Gabe is an unlikable protagonist for much of the novel, he eventually matures, risking damnation to save his friends. Grimly's signature off-kilter illustrations enhance the story's unsettling atmosphere.
