Description
Living in extraordinary circumstances, Jean, the only daughter in a father-daughter family, learns early that wishes can come true -- especially the harder that she wishes for them. Jean yearns for what most children already have, a real home and the opportunity to go to school. The underground house and dusty opal mining town in Australia where she and her father must live in order to make ends meet is a fascinating and even magical place, but its not a real home to Jean. When she discovers an opal hidden in the rock of her aunt's underground house, her family helps her turn it into school books and clothes and a spare bed -- in her grandparents home in Adelaide.
