In this hilarious, cozy adventure, a rebellious but enterprising young woman and an ancient but clueless genie go into business at the local mall. The result? A delightful disaster that's sure to please fans of iconic 80s comedies, magical bargain hunting, chaotic comeuppances, and hardworking gnomes. "Irresistibly fun and funny, with a ton of heart and depth! This is the kind of book that sneaks up on you and sticks with you!"
--Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop Alex Delmore needs a miracle. She wants out of her dead-end suburban town, but her parents are broke and NYU seems like a distant dream. Good thing there's a genie in town--and he's hiring at the Wellspring Mall. It'd help if the Jinn-formerly-of-the-Ring-of-Khorad knew even one thing about 21st-century America. It'd help if he weren't at least as stubborn as Alex. It'd really help if her brother didn't sell her out to her conspiracy theory-loving, gnome-hating dad. When Alex and the genie set up their wishing kiosk, they face seemingly-endless setbacks. The mall is failing and management will not stop interfering on behalf of their big-box tenants, especially the megastore ValuDay. But when the wishing biz might start working, the biggest problem of all remains: People are really terrible at wishing.
