Description
Be careful what you wish for . . .
"Wishes granted, fortunes told,"promises the sign on the booth at the back of the campus pizza place. Inside the booth sits a mechanical fortune-teller called the Wizard. His cold glass eyes give Alexandria Edgar the creeps. Her friends at Salem U think she's crazy-they're busy making wishes for the Wizard to grant.
But soon, their wishes turn into their worst nightmares: Alex's roommate, who wished to look less ordinary, is disfigured in an accident. Another girl who wished to shed a few pounds can't stop losing weight. As her friends face the consequences of their wishes, Alex suspects that her fears about the Wizard are becoming a reality. And she has good reason to be afraid: The truth is even more diabolical than she could have imagined, threatening the group's very lives.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Diane Hoh including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.
