(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Amy June Bates. Third grader Max, new in school, the victim of bullies, and dealing with his parents' divorce, retreats into a make-believe world. Longing for a dog, he imagines a shop called Wishworks where wishes come true. Max's relationship with his sister and mother as they adjust to the divorce is touching, painful, and believable. Bates's soft, realistic illustrations help tie the story together.
