Prologue

Delilah Evanston lives in a world that just so happens to be a wish-granting factory. But she rejects the temptation to wish for her every need and desire to be fulfilled. She dares to be different. And she has no friends because of it. And on a particularly crappy day, she meets Matt Cade, a homeless twelve-year-old who loves to read, just like her. But he has a secret. A secret Delilah becomes very intent in discovering.
