Synopsis

Chuck Richards is back with another imaginative, visual feast that will take readers on a fantastical adventure they won't soon forget. One day on a trip to Adventure Planet, Dad wins Lulu a special prize―a sparkly magic wand. They soon find out that this is a real magic wand and every wish is now Lulu's command. As Lulu's imagination runs wild, so does the amusement park. The merry-go-round comes to life, cotton candy sprouts all over, and the roller coaster turns into a giant snake! The chaos is fun at first, but when Lulu's family gets caught in the madness, can her brother and sister help Lulu stop the magic wand and return the park to normal?
