YA
In this thoughtful contemporary fantasy, Eldon gets to make one wish on his eighteenth birthday and watch it come true. In the weeks prior, he learns about his neighbors' wishes and how each went wrong. On his wish day, Eldon changes his Nevada desert town's fate. Sedoti paints a vivid portrait of the town without veering into caricature in an engrossing read that is both fantastical and believable.
