Book Synopsis

The lovable wackiness of Modern Family meets zany contests in this delightful new series that will have readers laughing out loud!

Cal Talaska can't wait for his family to win the Great Grab Contest! The prize? Twenty minutes to grab anything in the world-famous Wish Shoppe! He knows his family will leave the competition in the dust, but first he has to convince them to compete!

To get their eyes on the prize, Cal focuses on what his family wants from the Wish Shoppe--a gym for Mom, a whole orchestra for Dad, tools to build a spaceship for little sister Imo, and candy for baby brother Bug! Cal would do anything to get them to compete, even if that means tricking them into it . . . They'll thank him later!

When it comes to the Talaskas, family always comes first. But can Cal convince them to go for first place too?
