Imagine if your baby sister could make wishes come true... It's school sports day and Flick is ready to run! So is Dad. He's been training for the parent–teacher race. But excitement like this puts baby Birdie in a wishing mood. Soon Flick's nerves are jittery – and not just because of the competition. How can she make sure her team wins fair and square when Birdie starts meddling with the most important race of the day?
