The Wish by Gail Carson Levine

Wilma Sturtz, a middle-schooler, goes to school feeling forgotten and unwanted. Then one day, everything changed. Wilma was riding a train to school, as usual, when she saw an old lady standing on the train and Wilma offered her the seat she had. When the lady sat down, she offered Wilma a wish for doing a good deed. Wilma wishes to become the most popular kid in Claverford. As soon as Wilma steps into school, people start to notice her, but will the wish last, and for how long? I recommend this book for ages 9 and up.
