From the bestselling author Beth Garrod comes a fantastically funny wish-fulfillment story that is perfect for fans of The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks and The Amazing Edie Eckhart.

Secondary school is just ninety-eight days away, which means I'm running out of time to break free from my totally embarrassing nickname, Breaking News Nelly. Why did it have to be me who tripped playing netball and smashed a TV camera during the live report on our new sports hall opening?! I desperately need a relaunch, but it's hard when you have the worst luck in the world!

At least I have my best friends, Clara and Jas. Even though nothing ever seems to go right for us, we've always been in it together. Like the time we wrote down our ultimate wishes but knew they wouldn't come true until they did!

Now more and more of our wishes are being granted, and we're having the best time ever! Maybe my fortunes have changed, and I have the chance to ditch my old identity and become Totally Cool Nelly. Surely absolutely nothing is about to go wrong. . .?
