The best dog story you could wish for Max is handling his parents' divorce, his new home and school, and a big bully named Nick the only way he knows how: by running away in his head. Through his imagination, he and his wonderful dog King have thrilling adventures; they conquer aliens and slay dragons; they embarrass Nick so he never comes near Max again. If only King were real . . .Then Max happens upon a store called Wishworks, Inc., which promises his wish will come true in real life, guaranteed. He wishes for a real dog like King to fulfill all his dreams. And then a real dog named Goldie appears on his doorstep . . . but she may be a little more real than Max expects
Stephanie Tolan's WISHWORKS INC tells of an unusual wishing place where every wish is guaranteed for fun and adventure. Max's simple wish for a dog brings all of the above in a fun, surprising story illustrated by Amy June Bates with black and white line drawings throughout. A fine pick for libraries seeking easier stories for elementary-level readers past the picturebook age.
