"Shubeik Lubeik--a fairy-tale rhyme that means 'your wish is my command' in Arabic--is the story of three people navigating a world where wishes are literally for sale. Mired as they are in bureaucracy and the familiar prejudices of our world, the wishes that are more expensive are more likely to work as intended. Three wishes sold at an unassuming kiosk in Cairo link Aziza, Nour, and Shokry, changing their perspectives as well as their lives"--Page 4 of cover.
