Summary:

You wish has been granted...Twelve-year-old Josh Baskin wants to be big. It's hard enough just being twelve, but when you're half a foot shorter than the rest of the kids, and you like an awesome girl like Cynthia Benson who dates sixteen-year-old guys, it's unbearable!

He puts his quarter in a slot, but all that comes out is a piece of paper that says his wish has been granted. Josh is still the same - short. Until the day he wakes up as his twelve-year-old self - inside the body of a thirty-five-year-old man...
