Illustrated by
Geneviève Côté.
Ella May finds a "wishing stone" at the beach and brings it home to show her friends (actually, to lord it over them). Her best pal, Manuel, doesn't buy the stone's magic; he comes up with his own sort of wishing-stone-mass-production device, leaving Ella May feeling no longer special. A kid-centric problem and rounded-edged, child-friendly pictures will entice readers.
