But even though it's not a magic star, the rubber ball<br>turns out to be just what Nellie needs. When the ball bounces<br>out of her grasp, Nellie chases it into a faraway town, and one<br>by one, all of her wishes come true.<br><br>This is the story of a delightfully surprising chain of events,<br>with lively illustrations, a colorful cast of creatures, and hidden<br>details on every page.<br></div>
