The Running Wish

By Allison Rushby and Karen Blair

Imagine if your baby sister could make wishes come true... It's school sports day and Flick is ready to run! So is Dad. He's been training for the parent–teacher race. But excitement like this puts baby Birdie in a wishing mood. Soon Flick's nerves are jittery – and not just because of the competition. How can she make sure her team wins fair and square when Birdie starts meddling with the most important race of the day?

Allison Rushby

ALLISON RUSHBY, having failed to become a ballerina with pierced ears (her childhood dream), tried writing instead. This has worked out much better for her, since it means she gets to write off her book and DVD purchases at tax time and eat a lot more than a ballerina ever could. She is the author of four teen novels and five adult novels, all published by Random House in Allison's native Australia. She Twitters regularly and blogs at www.AllisonRushby.com. Oh, and she got the pierced ears in the end.
