O knihe

Making wishes on snow, dandelions, and shooting stars is perfectly normal for Polly's family. But when Polly decides to try a different kind of wish, everything changes. Now she is spending her entire family vacation thinking she has lost her mind.

Maybe Polly should have stuck with throwing a penny into a wishing well. While visiting Thomas Jefferson's home, she uses a nickel instead, silently wishing she knew interesting facts about President Jefferson to share with everyone on the trip. What happens next is something beyond Polly's imagination. In a matter of hours, Polly suddenly realizes that no one else in her group can hear the strange voices relaying fascinating historical facts. Unfortunately, her family thinks she is crazy. Could her wish really have come true? Or are the mysterious voices part of a clever practical joke?

The Jefferson Wish is an entertaining tale that integrates little-known facts about one of our nation's founding fathers with the adventures of a girl about to find out what happens when a wish becomes reality.
