​"Careful what you wish for" by Mahtab Narsimhan - Monkey’s paw!

This book is published by Orca book Pub in 2022 and has 45 pages. 

Eshana, a tenth grader, is bullied by Cara. Frustrated, she wishes she could do something, she wishes something happens. While thinking she stumbles on a website called I-WISH. What she wishes starts coming true.

Is it really happening or is she dreaming? What does she wish? Why her wishes come true? Why should one be careful?

This book appears to be a modern retelling of old story “Monkey’s paw”. The storyline is similar but the setting is modern. 

It’s a short story. You can read it quickly and be done with it. Doesn’t take much time. Doesn’t bore you. An young adult fiction. 

It’s a very straight forward story. A couple of more twists and a few more pages wouldn’t have hurt.
