Granted

Everyone makes wishes, but what you may not know is that some wishes actually come true.  In Haven, there is a tree that collects all the wishes and determines which ones will be granted by the fairies who live there. 

Ophelia Delphinium Fidgets is a granter, one of the fairies chosen to make wishes come true.  But so few wishes are granted that she hasn't been out into the real world yet to make someone's wish come true.  Until now.

Her first wish is from a girl who wants a purple bike.  Ophelia sets out to fulfill her destiny, but everything goes wrong.  Off course and injured, her quest becomes even more difficult.  In her efforts to get back on track, she runs across some humans who have a wish that seems to be a bit more important than her goal, and she begins to question everything she's always believed about granting wishes.

John David Anderson's new novel is cute but a little tedious.  Ophelia is not my favorite character, and things don't really get interesting until she befriends a stray dog.  Cute, but not required reading.
