內容簡介
When a strange little man comes to the Coven Tree Church Social promising he can give people exactly what they ask for, three young believers-in-magic each make a wish that comes true in the most unexpected way.
作者簡介
Bill Brittain's tales of the rural New England village of Coven Tree are well loved by children of all ages. The Wish Giver was a Newbery Honor Book; it and Devil's Donkey were both named ALA Notabled Children's Books as well as School Library Journal Best Books. Dr. Dredd's Wagon of Wonders was a 1988 Children's Editors' Choice (ALA Booklist), and Professor Popkin's Prodigious Polish was named a "Pick of the Lists" by American Bookseller.
Mr. Brittain has written many other delightful books, which have also received high acclaim. Among these are All the Money in the World, which won the 1982-1983 Charlie May Simon Children's Book Award and which has been adapted for an ABC-TV Saturday Special; and The Fantastic Freshman, which was named an ALA Recommended Book for Reluctant Young Adult Readers.
Bill Brittain lives with his wife, Ginny, in Asheville, North Carolina.
精彩書評
Various people take cards from Thaddeus Blinn, who says he can give them whatever they desire. Polly, who has a sharp tongue, asks to be well-liked. Rowena wants Henry to stay in town long enough to put down roots. Sam, sick of hauling water, wishes for water on his folks farm. They all get their wishes, with some truly horrible side effects, in Brittain's Newbery Honor Book.

羅威娜是個輕浮的女孩兒,十五歲時就開始談情說愛。她看上瞭每年兩次到鎮上來賣農具的亨利·派樸爾,她的願望是讓他永遠留在自己身邊。當亨利又一次齣現在她麵前時, 她用手指緊緊地按住那個紅點許願:“我希望……我希望亨利·派樸爾會在巫師樹村紮根,永遠也不再離開!”結果,亨利真的變成瞭一棵樹,生根長葉子,成瞭一個永遠不能再離開巫師樹村的樹人,使她痛不欲生。十六歲的男孩兒亞當,因自傢農場乾旱缺水而愁眉不展。他再也不願到遠處的蜘蛛河去拉水,他的願望是農場到處都是水。他要找水,拿著一根樹枝當探測杆在路上邊走邊戳,心裏嘀咕著昨天晚上觸摸著卡片紅點時許的心願:“我希望我們農場到處都是水,足夠洗、刷、做飯、喝的,灌溉莊稼用的,還……能剩下很多!”接下來卻發生瞭可怕的事:所有被他點戳過的地方,都有衝天的水柱噴齣,水的確是足夠足夠瞭,可農場卻變成湖泊,人們可以開船行駛到任何地方。三個孩子的願望都化為泡影,於是生活又迴到原來的樣子。
