Sticks and Stones (The Wish Makers) (Volume 1) Shawn Mcguire 1st edition

Everyone has a dark side. Mandy?s just moved in with her. The last time sixteen-year-old Mandy Matteo broke a rule, her sister died. Since that day she has done only what is expected of her: taking care of the household chores for her workaholic mom, getting great grades so she can get into culinary school, and planning recipes for the cooking club she runs. But life as a goody-goody has made Mandy so boring her friends have all but abandoned her. And she?s given up on ever getting Ethan, the boy she?s liked forever, to notice her. Desperate, Mandy makes a wish to simply be happy. Her wish is granted and happiness arrives in the form of Lexi, her childhood imaginary friend come to life. Mandy created Lexi to not only be there for her when no one else was, but also to be everything Mandy isn?t?beautiful, brave, and popular. She accepted Mandy unconditionally. She kept Mandy?s darkest secrets. Magical wishes come with conditions though and there are two for Mandy?s: Once the wish has started, it cannot be altered or stopped. And once Mandy is content with her life again and has figured out the truth behind her wish, Lexi must go back to where she came from. But Lexi loves being alive and she?ll do whatever it takes to stay that way.
