The Wish Giver:
People usually sell ordinary things at the annual church social. But this year, a funny little man named Thaddeus Blinn sets up a curious tent at the fair. He claims to sell wishes, "I can give you whatever you ask for," his sign says. And it only costs 50 cents! Polly, Rowena, and Adam are curious. Blinn sells them each a white card. All they have to do, he explains, is press the red spot on the card and say their wish out loud. When they do, funny and unexpected things begin to happen. Now they have to find a way to stop the Wish Giver's magic.

Too Soon To Say Goodbye:

"What's wrong with me?" "You have leukemia."  Those were the last words Jill expected to hear when she went to her doctor after fainting.  But it's true.  Suddenly Jill is in the hospital facing painful tests and chemotherapy.  Everyone treats her differently now.  Her family acts like she's a fragile child, and often keeps secrets from her because they think she can't handle the truth.  She feels like an outcast at school.  Her little sister even runs away because Jill and her illness get all the attention.  To add to her struggle, sometimes Jill's medication makes her feel worse-not better.  Jill must force herself to gather together all of her strength.  It's a matter of life and death.
