It’s school sports day and Flick is ready to run! So is Dad. He’s been training for the parent–teacher race. But excitement like this puts baby Birdie in a wishing mood. Soon Flick’s nerves are jittery – and not just because of the competition.

How can she make sure her team wins fair and square when Birdie starts meddling with the most important race of the day?

Allison Rushby

Allison Rushby made a wish when she was six years old. She wished to be a ballerina with pierced ears. Not long after this, she wrote her very first book (not about a ballerina) and decided to be an author with pierced ears instead. She went on to write many more books, for both adults and children, though none of them were sticky-taped together like that first one. She lives in Brisbane with her family and her two not very useful assistants, Harry the Bordoodle and Titus the Sphynx. To learn more about Allison, visit www.allisonrushby.com.
