The decoding of Lana Morris

Her foster mother wants her gone, she's stuck taking care of the other kids in the house, she longs to become closer to her foster father, and the only cool people around refuse to acknowledge her. Then Lana stumbles into Miss Hekkity's mysterious shop, and she begins to realize that she might actually have the power to change things--to make some of her wishes come true. But wishing isn't always as harmless as it seems. . . .Award-winning authors Laura and Tom McNeal weave a warmhearted and suspenseful story about the power--and danger--of a wish.From the Hardcover edition.
