'Life is no fairy-tale for C. W. Today is the first day of his new life, and it's not looking good. New house, new school, and no dad. Things are pretty tough in the Enchanted Realm of the Fairy, too. And if Fairy-Prince Wilton can't find a human being to make seven wishes by sundown, the goblin race will be wiped out. Prince Wilton zaps through a time vortex to earth, and gives C. W. the chance to have everything he has ever wished for...Things couldn't be better, right? Wrong...he had better get his seventh wish right because that is the wish he is going to be stuck with - forever.' (Source: back cover)
