Ruby's family has a special power, they can grant wishes. On the day Ruby's powers manifest, she makes a wish for her stuffed unicorn toy, Skydancer, to become a real unicorn. Turns out, unicorn-wrangling isn't easy.

I really liked the story. Ruby seems like a normal well-adjusted 9-year-old who just discovered she can make her wishes come true. She learns the hard way that sometimes what you wish for isn't good for you and she deals with it. She could run off, but she deals with the mess she made and I really like that about her.
