What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

School vacation for a year. Eternal happiness. You could wish for anything– but if it came at someone else’s expense, would you still do it? When a mysterious millionaire sells thirteen-year-old Gabe a bottle containing a wish-granting imp, it comes with a warning: any time Gabe makes a wish, someone else, somewhere, is going to lose something. Maybe something big. That means each of Gabe’s wishes should be a difficult ethical dilemma–but as he scores a Ferrari, a hot tub, and all the pizza and sub sandwiches a kid could want, he’s certain a guilty conscience is worth it . . . isn’t it? The Bottle Imp of Bright House is pithy, dark, and very, very funny, exploring the lengths people will go to for happiness– and the surprising ways small choices can swiftly spiral out of control. Gris Grimly’s bold and eerie artwork brings Gabe’s misadventures to life. Inspired by a Robert Louis Stevenson novella, this clever story is full of references to his body of work– and lots of laughs, too.
