There's nothing wrong with Wilma Sturtz. She's perfectly nice. But nobody cares about nice at Claverford, her middle school. Wilma is left out, forgotten, ignored -- until she meets an extraordinary old lady who grants a wish: for Wilma to be the most popular kid in school. Presto! Everything changes. Now Wilma has more best friends than she can keep track of and forty dates to the Graduation Night Dance; and someone is writing her love poetry. What more could she want? Nothing! But will it last? How can Wilma make sure she is never unpopular again?

自从她的两个好朋友搬走以后，八年级的维尔玛·施图斯在她就读的克莱瓦津初中里，就像隐形人一样无人理睬。于是，当一个神秘的老妇人让她许下一个愿望的时候，她许愿让自己成为全校最受瞩目的孩子。突然之间，她的朋友多得数不胜数，足足有四十个孩子邀请她参加毕业舞会。但是维尔玛意识到自己的愿望有个漏洞……她意识到自己的人气不可能永远保持。通过这个快乐、痛苦而又真实的故事，纽伯瑞儿童文学奖获得者盖尔·卡森·列文和你一同探讨一个问题：我们是否愿意以自己最真实的面目，去获得别人的喜爱。
