Seventeen-year-old Annika Truman knows about the power of positive thinking. With a little brother who has cancer, it's all she ever hears about.

But Annika's plan to convince Jeremy that a magic genie will grant him any wish throws her a curveball when he unexpectedly wishes that his television idol would visit him.

Just what I wished for
Where does Just One Wish rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
7 out of 10. It's good for its genre but not what I'm normally drawn to.
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the relationships between the characters. They had realism and the right amount of humor. The brother-sister relationship was sweet. The high school bestie was hilarious and loyal. The movie star was teen heartthrob material. The ending was quite good.
Which scene was your favorite?
I love when Annika sneaks onto the TV studio set. The bits with the snake were inspired.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. it took a while to get into this book. I liked the second half much better. At first the narrator irritated me, but after about the first hour she seemed to really connect with her character and did an amazing job of adding emotional depth to what she was reading.
Any additional comments?
This is worth a listen. The content is clean. The story tackles some of the real-life issues that face families of children with life threatening illnesses in a way that inspires and uplifts.
You will cry.....But it will be for a great reason
This book is fun, hilarious. You're seventeen again going on adventures you believe you're doing for some one else. As always though God gifts you both.
Have your tissues nearby!

MY TAKE
I love everything I've read my Rallison, and this story was not a disappointment. I've had the book for a while but didn't have a chance to "read" it until I found it in audiobook. The narrator did a fabulous job.
Oh, my heck. This one's a heart twister. Little Jeremy is the sweetest little kid, and I love how much Annika loves him and wants to help him.
