Wishing on a Star

by Jody Lynn Nye, Angelina Adams

Overview

"Innovative take on the well-loved theme of fairies and dangerous wishes."?Publishers Weekly

Pop goddess Selane has made some bad choices in her life on her road to success. All of her past connections have dropped her and she's desperately trying to get them (and her reputation) back.

While running a charity telethon for a debilitating children's disease, Selane discovers a remarkable girl during a broadcast - a real genie - and suddenly the solution to all of her problems is standing right in front of her.

But finding a genie is one thing...making wishes that count, is something else--particularly when the genie is a clueless teenager from California.

Maybe Ray, a fairy godmother, and the local 26-3 chapter of The Fairy Godmothers' Union can help.

Angelina Adams' companion piece follows the young genie, Vickie, as she travels to New Mexico. On her journey, a whole new host of characters befriend her, including Raj Chandra, a senior genie in the Demons, Djinni and Efreets Guild, and Indira, whose jealousy is bound to cause even more prob¬lems for the teenage wish granter.

Editorial Reviews

10/05/2015
In this amusing entry in the Stellar Guild series, in which a new writer builds on the work of an experienced author, Nye and protégé Adams imagine unionized magical guilds with rules, regulations, and apprenticeships. Fairies of all varieties are recruited and rise through the ranks in an orderly fashion, using wands of varying lengths to show their skill levels. Nye starts off the fun with the novella “Best Wishes,” in which aging superstar Selane rubs a lamp and acquires a genie named Vickie. Vickie’s young and not unionized, and she doesn’t know all the pitfalls and problems that can come with offering too many wishes at a time. Adams continues the tale with her novelette “Homecoming.” Vickie has been saved from the effects of excess magic and learns that life as a genie can be enjoyable for both wisher and wish giver. Cute dialogue combines well with this innovative take on the well-loved theme of fairies and dangerous wishes. (Nov.)
