Three children. One long, tedious school holiday at an ancient neighbor's. One very old, very smelly cat. But when Ed and his friends find a box of birthday candles and make a wish, their world is changed completely. For with every candle comes a wish, but some of those wishes actually belong to someone else.

Ed and his friends are excited to spend the school holiday at their ancient neighbor's house. They are greeted by the smelly cat, which they try to ignore. However, their boredom soon turns to excitement when they find a box of birthday candles. They make a wish, hoping to have a fun-filled holiday.

Little did they know that their wish would have unintended consequences. The candles bring forth a series of strange events, including a magical portal that transports them to a different world. They meet a group of creatures who are in need of their help.

Ed and his friends discover that the wishes they made were not their own and that they have inadvertently stolen the wishes of others. They must find a way to return the wishes to their rightful owners before it is too late.

Through their adventures, Ed and his friends learn valuable lessons about friendship, responsibility, and the importance of being careful what you wish for. They also discover that sometimes the best things in life come from unexpected places.

In the end, Ed and his friends return the wishes to their rightful owners and are rewarded with a magical experience that they will never forget. They return home, grateful for the lessons they have learned and the new friends they have made.
