Samantha tries to say that’s okay, but the old woman persists until Samantha says, I wish I was the strongest player on the basketball team.

Samantha talks to her finds the right direction, the woman thanks her and says, for your help I will give you three wishes. On her way home she meets an old lady wondering the streets clearly lost. Judith the star of the team, torments her again tripping her further, telling her to, “fly away Byrd and don’t come back.” Judith in all her rudeness ask Samantha not to show up to the game so they can win. Samantha is on the basketball team for her height alone, she can’t shoot or catch a pass.

She calls her “Stork”, spills stuff on here accidentally on purpose, and trips her at every occasion. Judith is the ring leader who likes to torment Samantha. The Plot: Samantha Byrd is a tall awkward 12 year-old, who gets made fun of constantly by mean girl Judith. The story is like that of the Monkey Paw where wishes go bad what makes this story worse, is Samantha does a good deed and still has two out of her three wishes go bad without her fault. This story takes too long to get started. This story is tied with Monster Blood for lack of scares. The ending is the only redeemable part of this book. This is an episode of the classic Goosebumps TV Show that I remember little bits and pieces of the name of the main character Samantha Byrd, the cruelty of kids (it’s even worse in the book), and the ending. Stine is book 12 in the original Goosebumps series.

Be careful what you wish for novel
