SYNOPSIS

It  is  a  Psammead,  an  ancient,  ugly  and  irritable  sand  fairy  the
children find one day in a gravel  pit.  It  grants  them  a  wish  a  day,
lasting  until  sunset.  But  they  soon  learn  it is very hard to think of
really good wishes, and each  one  gets  them  into  more  and  more
trouble. Magic, the children find, can be as awkward as it is enticing.
