Perfect for you if...

You love British humour that skewers human nature through absurd supernatural scenarios.
You appreciate stories where the punchline is often on the characters themselves, not just the premise.
You want something that's clever and funny without needing to take itself seriously for a single page.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer stories where the magical system is logically consistent and explained.
You want emotional depth or character arcs that genuinely transform people.
You're looking for a romance or a story where the ghost's wishes actually go right.

About this book

Visitors flock to Lake Chicopee in Iowa, drawn by a local legend about a ghost named Okeewana who allegedly grants wishes. Among the tourists and sightseers is a young man from England who comes specifically to immerse himself in the lake's waters and receive his heart's desire, as the legend promises. However, there is a significant catch: Okeewana herself determines what that desire will be. This contemporary comic fantasy explores what happens when the ghost's interpretation of a wish may not match what the wisher actually wanted.
