Peony wants a lot of things. She wants a dog, she wants her dad to stop being an agony aunt and she really wants to get rid of her sister's horrible best friend Bianca. Then Mr Kaminski next door tells her the secret of how to get what you want and Peony decides it's time to put a stop to Bianca at last. But can she get what she wants?
Everyone in Peony Pinker's family wants something. Her dad, a sports reporter on the local paper, wants to get out of doing the problem page while the agony aunt is missing; her mum wants to stop working at the garden centre where all the plants keep dying; and her big sister Primrose wants to be called Annabel. What Peony wants most in the world - even more than she wants a dog - is to stop Primrose's nasty new best friend Bianca from being horrible to her. But can she get what she wants?
