What this book is about
Five children discover the Psammead — an ancient, grumpy sand fairy — who grants them one wish per day, each lasting until sunset. But every wish has unintended consequences that leave the children in worse situations than before. Nesbit's 1902 children's classic is clever, funny, and enduringly inventive.
