Making wishes on snow, dandelions, and shooting stars is perfectly
normal for Polly's family. But when Polly decides to try a
different kind of wish, everything changes. Now she is spending her
entire family vacation thinking she has lost her mind.Maybe Polly
should have stuck with throwing a penny into a wishing well. While
visiting Thomas Jefferson's home, she uses a nickel instead,
silently wishing she knew interesting facts about President
Jefferson to share with everyone on the trip. What happens next is
something beyond Polly's imagination. In a matter of hours, Polly
suddenly realizes that no one else in her group can hear the
strange voices relaying fascinating historical facts.
Unfortunately, her family thinks she is crazy. Could her wish
really have come true? Or are the mysterious voices part of a
clever practical joke?The Jefferson Wish is an entertaining tale
that integrates little-known facts about one of our nation's
founding fathers with the adventures of a girl about to find out
what happens when a wish becomes reality.
Kathryn Samantha King, AKA as Katie King; enabled with powers from
out of this world with which she firmly establishes her place in
history, finance, and the future.
Everyone knows that Hank Whitestone is a genius, but nobody knows
the real story of what he invented and what happened as a result.
But, for readers in years to come, when the story finally comes
out, here is the true story of how Hank came up with his theory of
gravity, and invented the Grav Buster, and how everyone built the
spaceship Pegasus, and how the whole family traveled into space,
and what happened up there. Of course, it wasn't that easy and a
couple of times it was down-right scary--when we had to steal the
nukes, for example--and the whole thing had to be done in secret,
in case JJ figured out what we were doing and took Pegasus away
from us. Anyway, if you have authorized access to "Hank's Idea" you
can read this stuff now, provided, of course, that you don't
breathe a word to anyone. Just to be on the safe side, please eat
this book when you've finished it, in case it falls into the wrong
hands.
