Some of the wishes included in the book: "I wish my piece would bring you magic, because you are magic too," from Daniel; and "I wish my piece would bring you friendship, because you are the special one. And I hope you have an angel in case you have something wrong or you are hurt and I hope you feel better soon," from Mary. -- Steve Moyer/Daily Mail
