Enny Penny is a little girl... with big wishes! In Enny Penny's Wishes (the book that started the series), Enny Penny finds that it's easier to wish for and get World Peace than ice cream for dinner! Follow Enny Penny as she gets frustrated with her friends for not sharing, her neighbors for arguing, and the wars she learns about in Social Studies. In this funny but sincere story, Enny Penny inspires us to believe in the power of a simple wish!

How do you make wishes come true? It helps to have a good neighbor, like Salina, who is always ready to lend a helping hand, always ready to learn something new, & always ready to add a little something special to help make the journey a good one when her friends move on to live their wishes. As her friends, Chloe, Edison, & Laurel, take the first steps toward making their wishes come true, Salina is content to make her own wishes on pennies she tosses into the ocean. The aftermath of a storm returns her pennies & teaches her that she must do more than simply wish & wait. The reader can join in the story by first imagining how Salina will use her pennies, & then wondering where the pennies will take her as she begins her own journey. This is a never-ending story, with a myriad of possibilities, imaginings, dreams, & wishes. PENNY WISHES is a book for sharing in both family & classroom settings. It lends itself to authentic discussions, & has the potential for making early readers want to write about Salina's wishes, & also about their own wishes.

In this book, animals make wishes by putting pennies in a fountain.

Meet six-year-old William, whom everyone calls Penny because of his bright red hair.

When a sinister old woman leaves Griffin Penshine a box of twelve shiny pennies, she sets in motion a desperate quest—because the old woman was a wish stealer, and each penny represents a wish she stole from a wishing fountain decades earlier. Somehow, Griffin has to make things right, or the opposite of her own wishes will come true—and it could literally be a matter of life and death. The Wish Stealers introduces a new voice in middle-grade fantasy, as bright and sparkling as Griffin’s pennies.

On the third day of Christmas, Penny Dora found herself face-to-face with a horde of fire-breathing dragons, oodles of monsters, and at least seven dwarves. All thanks to the girl she used to call best friend, now known as Princess Elizabeth, who ruled over all the lands with her all-powerful Wishing Box.
