Wally Lamb, the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of The
Hour I First Believed, I Know This Much Is True, and She's Come
Undone, delivers a holiday treat with Wishin' and Hopin'--an
unforgettable novella that captures the warmth and joy of the holiday
season. Poignant and hilarious, in a vein similar to Jean Shepherd's A
Christmas Story and David Sedaris's The Santaland Diaries, Lamb's
Christmas tale focuses on a feisty parochial school fifth grader named
Felix Funicello--a distant cousin of the iconic Annette!
