It says that they can get five wishes from it, but each wish will all turn to stone at sunset. As everyone knows, wishes aren't as easy as they look, and what with accidental wishes, unforeseen consequences, and good old-fashioned bad luck, the children soon find themselves having the time of their lives.The adventure continues in the two following books, and with the aid of magical elements like a flying carpet and a time-travelling amulet, there's no shortage of mischievous antics for the siblings.
