Description

Edward wishes he could fly. But no matter how much he adjusts and re-adjusts the splurchler and turbo-twirler on his Skyhopper 2000, he can't get off the ground.

Imagine Edward's thrill when he gets a coupon for not just one, but three wishes. Edward makes a wish that his Skyhopper could fly. And there it goes - Boing! Sproing! Z-z-ooom! - without him. Things really start to lurch out of control when his mother tells him to clean his room. Edward wishes that he didn't have to! After a monster gobbles up the contents of his room until there's nothing left to clean, Edward is determined to be more careful with his last wish. Wishes, like flying, should not be taken lightly. Will Edward ever figure out what he really wants to wish for?
