There was this book, not very thick, but it was about this girl who was given five? wishes I think, or maybe three? but if she used up the last one she died. She also died if she gave the wishes away. Along the way, one of her friends,a guy, was about to get hung but she wished and he escaped somehow. He got to thinking he was the one with the wishes.When they ran away, A man wanted her to use one of her last wishes to overthrow the king.
