But everything changes when Archie bumps his head and literally sees stars: his favorite famous football player standing in front of him, granting him nine wishes. This is incredible! Archie can have unlimited ice cream, a whole day of eating pizza and playing on the X-Box, revenge on the bullies, and become the star player in a televised football tournament. Finally, all his dreams can come true! Will Archie use his wishes to find happiness? Or will he realize that magic wishes may be wonderful, but only he has the true power to change his life?
