Synopsis

Archie Crumb's life is tough: he's bullied at school, always picked last for teams, and his home feels empty since his dad left. Everything changes when he bumps his head and envisions his favourite footballer granting him nine wishes. Suddenly, Archie can have unlimited ice cream, play on the X-Box all day, and even get back at his bullies. But as his wishes come true, Archie begins to wonder if magic is the answer, or if true happiness lies within himself.
