When five siblings – Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother, the Lamb – move to London with their parents, an extreme boredom threatens to take over them. Surprisingly, they discover a sand-fairy in their gravel pit.
The fairy grants them a wish a day which wears off at the day’s end. In an hilarious adventure, all the wishes the children make go ironically wrong.
They wish first for beauty, which causes a problem as no one at home recognises them and they are simply admired but not fed. Each time they land in a difficult mess, they must find creative ways to make it better.
In this brave, creative and endearing adventure, will the children learn that desires are more likely to get them in trouble than get what they want?
