Product Description

It's the last day of school before Christmas vacation and Alex, Chase, and the rest of Mrs. Walter's fifth-grade class couldn't wish more for that final bell to ring.

But the day takes a crazy turn when a mysterious meteorite crashes through their classroom window and a genie pops out. He will grant just one wish for the whole class to share. Be careful what you wish for!

This was a great holiday gift for my son's 5th grade teachers and our library! I don't usually shop this early for Christmas, but I could not resist giving it to them early. Dan Gutman is ever popular and the illustrations by Dan Santat throughout the book are way cool! It's a quick read and a clever story.
