Summary

A Wish Upon a Negai is about a girl named Khloe and her connection with a mythical creature called a Negai. Khloe had grown up listening to tales, told by her grandma, about Negais, magical creatures that will grant wishes to those who are pure of heart. Negais are majestical big cats with creamy fur that is cooler than ice, and only those who are pure of heart see their big cat form. Khloe finds joy in her conversations with her grandma because it comforts her in times of mourning as her mum is terminally sick and her brother and father are at war. Fast forward to a stark, doleful day, Khloe is 15 years old and at her grandmother's funeral. On her way back from it, she collapses from exhaustion and awakens at a stranger's house. After talking to the stranger, whose name is Noah, she realizes that he is going to Antarctica - where the Negais reside - soon. In desperation, Khloe begs Noah to let her come with him. Dubiously, Noah agrees. Khloe is delighted, but one question remains: Will Khloe find happiness during her dreadful times through wishes granted by the Negai? Or will she be shunned away if she isn't pure of heart?

    This story of two girls trying to banish a witch is “full of wonderful fun, excitement, and humor” (Library Journal).   Old Witch likes nothing better than to fly around on her broomstick, crying “Heh-heh!” and casting abracadabras. But now she has been sent away . . . by two young girls.   Amy and Clarissa have decided that Old Witch is just too mean and wicked. So, drawing a rickety old house upon a barren glass hill, they exile Old Witch there with a warning: She better be good, or else no Halloween! But to give Old Witch some company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby . . .   Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill. And Amy and Clarissa are about to find that out, when Old Witch magics them into her world of make-believe-made-real, in “a very special book that is certain to give boundless pleasure—at any time of the year” (The Horn Book).   “A classic for Halloween.” —Library Journal
