From Booklist:
Gr. 2^-4. Spitballs, quarrels, and a lot of racket are the order of the day in Katie's third-grade class; and after one particularly tense day, Katie makes an astonishing discovery. On her way home through the park, she picks up a piece of litter that transforms into a magic lamp, complete with three wishes. Thoughts of 35-inch color TVs and getting the best part in the class play immediately come to mind, but when her big brother (who has clearly read "The Monkey's Paw" ) warns of the downside to getting wishes granted, Katie begins to see what a difficult choice she has. Although she is as self-absorbed as most eight-year-olds ("World peace was probably a good idea, although Katie wasn't sure what that would get her" ), Katie remains lovable through Pfeffer's skilled use of point of view and humor. Another in Holt's fine Redfeather line of books for the "ready for short chapters" crowd. Susan Dove Lempke
