Synopsis

Leona is very focused on her studies and is especially busy as the lead vocalist in the Star Darlings band. Star-Zaps start buzzing, and the girls know it’s probably time for one of them to head to Wishworld. It’s Leona’s turn, and she’s bursting with excitement. She can’t wait to get there and become a successful Wish-Granter. But she’ll have to challenge herself to put her own desires aside and truly understand what her Wisher needs—before her Countdown Clock runs out of time.

Debated between a 3 and a 4 for this one, did NOT like Leona at all, she was a little brat. Didn't like her, though the story was good. Hopefully one of them starts to wise up to the things going on around them soon because they are all being stupid and clueless and petty. Might get old if they don'......more
