And because of their cleverness, the pigs started a revolution against the humans. Pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the other animals, and that gave them the power to be leaders.

Angel try's to help a boy that she thinks needs help. but it ends up a disaster. Her friend now has her powers and she lost people she loves. She realizes that using her power isn't that easy. Even though her father already warned her. Now she has to deal with totally weird things and make them back to normal. Once again her father is correct, but he leaves her alone to make everything back to normal.
Have you ever felt heart broken? This is how Angel felt when she heard that her boyfriend likes her best friend. Gaby wished for something that might ruin her relationship with her best friend. And even after that she still wishes for more things. How can she stop?
I think the book has a connection with life. Like her friend Gaby breaking her best friends heart just because she wanted someone to like her. Gaby also isn't grateful of what she has, she just uses her wish power to wish for so many things she does not need. It's just so upsetting if a best friend wants something better than what her best friend needs. Let this be a lesson to all of you, always put family and friends before things that you want.
I think this is a perfect book for Tweens. I think this book should be popular so much more people can know about this book.
I give this book 5 stars.
