About this ebook
He has the power of wonderworking—and now everyone wants it. “Jody Lynn Nye’s irrepressible humor makes this story a delight.” —Christopher Stasheff, author of The Warlock in Spite of Himself
Apprentice fairy godfather Raymond Crandall is skeptical whether he wants to be a part of something that sounds so hokey, but he finds that granting wishes to children touches something in himself that he never knew was there. Rose Feinstein, his teacher and mentor, helps guide him to learn how to handle the power and responsibility. Unfortunately, the rival Demons, Djinni and Efreets Guild want the power the Fairy Godmothers wield. Can Ray pull off a miracle to save them all?
