Very GOOD!

While hiking in the woods, Adam and his friends find an old stone. It is clear like a cyrstal ball a fortuneteller uses.To their imense surprise, if they hodl and make a wish, it can come true. They call it the Wishing Stone. They love it very much. Until they discover that there is a heavy price for each wish!

Another Great Read

In this particular book, the kids find a wishing stone and for every wish they make there is an unforseen price tag attached. The entire series is great and the characters are delightful.

Christopher Pike-The Wishing Stone

This book is a very good book for young readers. It is about 4 kids that find a stone while walking in a wood one day and whenever they ask for someting with the stone in their hand, it immediately appears in front of them. But there is a catch, they must pay off their wishes by slaving away on a planet far away. The two girls are taken away but the boys manage to survive and go on a long and tiring misson to go and save the girls from the slave planet.I would rate this book four stars as it is a good read and keeps the suspense up.

Most Humorous of Series

When Christopher Pike first began the Spooksville series I was disappointed that he would write something so much like the Goosebumps series. However, Spooksville has turned out to be some of Pike's most light hearted and witty writing. The Wishing Stone is my favorite book in the series. I love how the "resourceful" pre-teens always manage to get themselves into and out of trouble. Sally's scenes with the alligator alien always send me into a fit of giggles. Read this book! My only hope is that Pike will continue with this series!

This is not one of his BEST! But it's Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While walking in the woods, Sally found the wishing Stone!!! The rest of the gang Cindy, Adam, and Watch said not to mess with it but being Sally she messed with it anyway! They paid their price for messing with it! But will they get out? Will they be there forever? Where are they? You'll answer these Questions and much more!!! If you haven't read it already you should read ti and all of his other books! There're Great. Christopher Pike is the Best author there'll ever be! He is the greatest. I love his books. He keeps you off your seat the whole time!!!! He is Great, I could read him all DAY!!! If you don't think you should read this book then you're wrong. I read almost all his Spooksville and some of his Novels, and i loved them all. I wish i coould say the same about other Authors but I can't so read this book and tell the world what you think of it!!! Christopher Pike RULZ!!
