A review by CPA MOM BLOG:
CPA MOM BLOG REVIEW:
My take: If I had to sum up this book in one word, I would use ‘riveting.’ Absolutely riveting and I’m not even the target audience (it’s been many years since I was 8 – 12 years old!). I took this book with me to a recent blood drive as I knew I’d have a wait(just didn’t realize how much of a wait!) and let me tell you, the two hours it took me to read The Wish Stealers just flew by. In fact, my husband asked me why I waited that long and I truthfully answered him that I hadn’t realized it had been two hours – the book was that good. Griffin is a compelling protagonist who I could really relate to – the “Queen Bees” she has to deal with in school are a lot like the bullies I dealt with in school – though she ends up treating them better than I would have given the chance! I love the underlying themes in the book of being true to yourself, choosing good (making good choices like I’m always telling my kiddos), friendship and love (for self and others). I’m saving this one to read over and over for my kids to read in a few years. http://cpamomva.blogspot.com/2010/01/wish-stealers.html

5 Minutes for Books: The Wish Stealers
http://www.5minutesformom.com/ By Jennifer
“Looking up at the night sky always held the allure of possibility for me as a child. The possibility of a secret wish granted simply in exchange for a softly whispered “Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight…” rhyme. The magic of it lasted well past my young childhood, and I can’t deny trying it once or twice as an adult either. (You never know.) With these memories in mind, I approached the new middle grade novel The Wish Stealerswith a smile on my face.
In Tracy Trivas’ first children’s novel, we encounter a world in which wishes are truly powerful, and it isn’t always a lucky thing. Griffin Penshine (really, the perfect name for this cute character) has a penchant for making wishes, and when she finds herself suddenly in possession of a “lucky penny” given by an old woman at a local shop she hopes for some good luck as her first day of sixth grade is approaching soon. However, when she discovers the package contains eleven shiny pennies that actually represent stolen wishes, her luck quickly turns sour. Her fortune rests upon her ability to reverse the curse placed on her with this “gift,” and she’s got her work cut out for her. Add to that the regular social challenges of middle school, innocent adolescent crushes, and school projects all vying for her attention, as well. In the end, can she reverse her own fortune, possibly even spreading some good luck to others as well?
If I could go back in time, I would bring this book back to my own 9-year-old self, because I’m confident this is the exact kind of story I was drawn to–a spunky and unique main character, a fun writing style, and an imaginative conflict that, of course, gets wrapped up with a bow by the end of the story. My own nine year old son read this book (in a morning!), and came away with a huge smile on his face and a declaration of “that was so cool!”
In conjunction with the release of The Wish Stealers, publisher Simon and Schuster is also working with Pennies for the Planet, “a successful nationwide campaign to help critical conservation projects, powered by kids collecting pennies (and nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars, too!) to help save wild places and wildlife in the United States. Working in classrooms, clubs, Scout troops, other groups, with their families, and on their own, kids have turned pennies into a gold mine for wild spaces and wild species needing protection,” according to the media release.

The Wish Stealers: Book Review and Giveaway
The story begins with Griffin Penshine, a rather sweet girl who believes in making wishes. She wishes for all sorts of things to come true like for her mom to have a baby girl and for her new school to smell like chocolate chip cookies. But one day in an dusty shop an old woman gives her a mysterious gift of eleven pennies. What Griffin comes to realize is that each penny she now owns was once a wish that was stolen.
The only way to undo the stolen wishes is to try to return the wishes to someone else. Until Griffin can return the pennies all her own wishes become the opposite of what she wished for. Griffin must figure how to return the stolen wishes in order to make her own wishes come true. But can she make it happen before it’s too late?
This story is full of creative fun and imagination. The idea that throwing a penny into a fountain to make a wish come true is easy for children to relate to. Griffin’s own wishes seem to pale in comparision when she comes face to face with the enormity of what not returning the stolen wishes could mean for her own family. Her character is believable and genuine as she deals with the idea that she must undo wrongs done in the past. She learns a lot about what really matters to her, family and friends and what really doesn’t, being popular and selfish.
Another detail that made this book so believable was that it features an actual charity aimed at collecting pennies. Pennies for the Planet is a charity that collects pennies to save conservation lands. In the book Wish StealersGriffin teams up with her science partner Garrett to create a fundraiser for Pennies for the Planet. You can join in by clicking the link to learn more about starting a fundraiser in your area to collect pennies to help save the planet. Everyone has some spare change and even a little bit can make a big difference!
Thor and I really enjoyed the book. As he says “It was really, really good.” The book is available for sale now at retailers. As an extra bonus I’m going to give away five copies and all you have to do is tell me that you’d like to win one in the comments. The giveaway will end Tuesday at 11:59 pm eastern time. Good luck!
Have you ever thrown a penny in a fountain and made a wish? Did your wish come true?www.bloggingmama-andrea.blogspot.com

Hacklinks from trusted, high-authority sources help increase traffic and strengthen your SEO power.
If you’re looking for fast and effective results, this is the way to go.
A hacklink is a hidden backlink inserted into another website without
the owner’s permission. The primary goal is to boost the target site’s ranking on search
engines. These links are typically placed in areas that are hard to detect — such as the
footer, outdated posts, or completely invisible sections of
the page.
When done strategically, this method can lead to a significant rise in rankings.
The key lies in knowing what to place, where,
and how. If executed with precision and control, it doesn’t damage the host site — in fact, it can deliver powerful
long-term results
A hacklink panel is a specialized system that lets you manage all your links from a single dashboard.
In other words, you can add, remove, or update links across
hundreds of websites — all in one place. It’s fast, practical, and incredibly effective.
From the panel, you can clearly see where each link is placed and track its
status. When the time runs out, the system automatically removes the link — or
extends it if you choose. You don’t need to do anything manually.
The entire process is fully automated, and your
only job is to monitor and control it.
With its easy-to-use design, fast interface, and smart automation,
the system makes link management effortless.

Вам не нужно ничего делать вручную.
Весь процесс полностью автоматизирован, и ваша единственная задача — контролировать и управлять им.
Благодаря простому в использовании дизайну,
быстрому интерфейсу и интеллектуальной автоматизации система делает управление ссылками легким.
