She'd go to the ends of the earth—or at least Hollywood—to save her brother's life.


Annika Truman has never considered "genie" as a career option, but maybe she should have. She's convinced if she fulfills her little brother's only wish before his cancer surgery, he'll have a better chance of pulling through. The trouble is, Jeremy wants the actor who plays Teen Robinhood to pay him a visit.


Steve Raleigh is handsome, cocky, and most likely unreachable. And worse, Annika only has a couple days to find him and convince him to visit her brother.


Still, she has to try. How hard can it be to get past security guards?

Okay, maybe a little hard...


Annika doesn't expect to be attracted to a TV star, and she certainly doesn't expect Steve to understand her better than she understands herself.


On a seemingly impossible adventure that includes an archery contest, an enormous snake, and ditching the paparazzi, Annika learns a few lessons about family, love, and having her own wishes granted.


Part comedy, part tear-jerker. Readers who loved Fault in Our Stars will adore this romance novel with heart.

      Annika would do anything for her younger brother, who has cancer. So when he wishes for a visit from TV star Teen Robin Hood, feisty Annika drives from her Nevada hometown to Los Angeles to make his wish come true. The best moments are the silly ones, such as when Annika and her friend masquerade as animal wranglers to sneak onto the set. But these contrast perhaps too starkly with the sad, sometimes oversentimental passages as Annika deals with her younger brother's mortality. (She asks Steve Raleigh, the actor who plays Robin Hood, “Why can't life turn out like it does on your show—neatly and with the good guys always winning at the end?”) Readers will find much of the plotting predictable, as Annika not only persuades Steve to grant her brother's wish, but falls for the heartthrob in the process. The thoughtful ending, if out of step with the story's more madcap elements, is still moving. Ages 12–up.
