One day, Woody catches a magical, talking fish named Prince. He begs Woody to spare his life. Prince tells Woody that if he ever needs anything, to come to the sea and play his banjo. Prince will come to him. He will grant any wish Woody has. Woody lets Prince go but doesn’t ask for any reward.

Later Woody decides to see if Prince is real or just a figment of his imagination. He plays his banjo and, sure enough, the fish appears.

Eventually Woody works up the nerve to ask out Madalina. He finds himself telling her about Prince. Surprisingly she believes him. In fact, she has a request for Prince herself. And so the trouble begins —Madalina has increasingly large wishes. Now Woody has his princess, but the rest of his life is in ruins.

This book has an interesting premise that never quite reaches its potential. It was a decent book but not as humorous as I expected.
