Tall Story by Candy Gourlay
It is a very good story which includes a mixture of fantasy and reality. You will like the book even if you don.t believe in magic.

Bernardo has a mom, stepfather, sister. The story is interesting. The wishing stone part is very catchy. I like the part of Gabriella. I like sister Len's attitude. Thank you...
