This is a fantasy story but one with a real heavy dose of reality. A girl catches a fish that grants wishes. Charlie makes a few that go a bit wrong. However, when she discovers that her sister is addicted to drugs, her life changes, and so do her priorities about wishing. The author makes many references to the D.A.R.E. program and what it teaches. I think this story is very timely, given the state of our society right now and could be a eye-opening read for a mature 5th grader. (FIC MES)
