A brilliantly funny wish-fulfilment story with a huge
heart, from the author of one of 2021's most loved children's debuts,
The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh.
Archie Crumb is having a tough time. Picked-on at school, picked
last for any team; his home has been sad and quiet since Dad left
and his luck feels like its run out.
But things start looking up when Archie bumps his head and literally
sees stars: his favourite famous football player standing
in front of him, granting him nine wishes.
This is INCREDIBLE! Unlimited ice cream, a whole day of eating
pizza and playing on the X-Box, revenge on the bullies, becoming
the star player in a televised football tournament: finally, all
his dreams can come true! Will Archie wish his way to happiness?
Or will he realise that magic wishes may be wonderful, but only
he has the true power to change his life?
