This Newbery Award winning F novel book by Bill Brittain. Thaddeus Blinn who came into Coven Tree selling wishes when 4 individuals take the chance. Eventually 3 of the 4 individuals make a wish which does come true but doesn't meet their expectations. Ultimately they all learn a lesson from their wish. The book has a few illustrations that help the reader visualize what's occurring in the book. I think it'll make students think twice.

Floribelg The Wish Giver can be used as a SR and GR. http://takinggrades.com/SamplePages/WishSPgs.pdf the link is a test packet for pages throughout the book and could also be used to check for understanding. The test support UDL 6.5 monitoring progress. I would use ESOL 27 to use the special text features to connect to the meaning of the text. #UCFLAE3414F17 6y
