'A delight... This book is wise, suspenseful and witty' SUNDAY
TIMES, Children's Book of the Week 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?
