On his eleventh birthday, sad, orphaned Benjamin Bartholomew Piff accidentally adheres to all of the wishing rules—and, in wishing for the mother lode of limitless wishes, he unknowingly sets into a motion a chain of events that threatens to disrupt the balance between the magical realm of wishes and curses. Before long, Benjamin has been recruited by the Wishworks Factory director himself to fight the evil henchmen of the Curseworks Factory. In the process, Benjamin will reclaim his original wish—giving new credence to the old adage: “Be careful what you wish for . . . ”

Profile Picture
Ever since his parents died in a tragic accident, poor Ben 
has been stuck at Pinch's Home for Wayward Boys, scrubbing 
pots and eating mush and other normal orphanage-type stuff. 
He even forgot his birthday, until a kind friend brings him 
a cake. When he sneaks a slice to eat, he stares 
thoughtfully at the candle a moment. Finally he closes his 
eyes, blows, and makes a wish. Little does he know that his 
wish could change the whole world.
