Told with humour and great moralistic themes, this book has enough mystery to intrigue my students. Great fall read, especially.

A mysterious little man with curiously snake-like eyes comes to town. His boast is that he can give you anything - anything - that you wish for. Four villagers take him up on his offer, but he leaves them with a warning: "Take great care when you wish. For it will be granted exactly as you ask for it."
One by one, each of the townspeople use their wishes. One by one their wishes go haywire. Soon all of them have only one wish - for their wishes to be undone! Will they be able to find a way to undo their wishes? Or are the stuck forever under the spell cast by the little man with the snake-like eyes. . . ?

I like this book because it has magician named Thaddeus Blinn. This book is about three kids who pay $.50 to get whatever they want. One wishes her boyfriend would stay, another wishes for attention, andthe last wishes for water. I like this book because I like magic.

The wish giver is about three kids kids who go to a man called Thaudeous Blinn and get a wish card with a spot in the middle. All you have to do is put your thumb on the spot and make a wish. One girl wishes she was popular and got a lot attention. She then later starts to croak. Another girl wishes her boyfriend would plant his roots and stay in coven tree and stay forever. He ends up turning into a tree. A boy wishes his farm would have water throughout the whole farm. His wish goes wrong and the farm gets flooded. I like the book because of the excitment.
