Lana Morris likes to draw. But when she buys an old drawing kit in an antique store, she draws things that happen. Rainstorms. Car accidents. Mole-expungement. It seems, in fact, that she now has the power to wish things away, and to wish them into being. But what should she really wish? The authors are donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book to The ARC of the USA.
