The Wishing Game

A recluse mega-bestselling children's author stopped writing years ago for unexplained reasons. In this captivating and amusing story, he reappears out of nowhere with a brand-new book and a unique competition that promises a reward that will transform the winner's life.

Grant a desire...

Nobody understands what it's like to grow up without loving parents more than Lucy Hart. During her lonely and neglected upbringing, Lucy turned to novels, especially Jack Masterson's Clock Island series. She can now share her passion of reading with intelligent young kids, notably seven-year-old Christopher Lamb, who was left orphaned when his parents passed away tragically. She is a twenty-six-year-old teacher's assistant. Lucy will do everything to adopt Christopher, but without sufficient money and security, even the thought of starting a family seems unattainable.

But use caution while making wishes.

Lucy is about to give up until Jack Masterson says he has finished writing a new novel. Better still, Lucy is one of the four fortunate candidates selected to compete for the one and only copy in a contest he is hosting at his house on the actual Clock Island.

For Lucy and Christopher, the possibility of obtaining the world's most sought-after book is everything. However, she has to first deal with cunning rivals, vicious book collectors, and the obnoxious gorgeous (and grumpy) Hugo Reese, who illustrated the Clock Island series. Jack "the Mastermind" Masterson is preparing the ultimate twist ending that has the potential to permanently alter everyone's life in the meanwhile.

You could really understand it.
