Once upon a time in a country town in New South Wales, there lived a girl who would do anything to escape.
Queen bee of Kingstown High, seventeen-year-old Mishka Winscott knows all there is to keeping secrets. From hiding her father's increasing mortgage debt to pretending she doesn't care that her ex-boyfriend cheated on her, no one knows her life is anything but perfect. They certainly don't know she's behind the elusive Call Me Rumpelstiltskin app, where she grants her peers' wishes for a little fee.

From hiding her father's increasing mortgage debt to pretending she doesn't care that her ex-boyfriend cheated on her, no one knows her life is anything but perfect. They certainly don't know she's behind the elusive Call Me Rumpelstiltskin app, where she grants her peers' wishes for a little fee.
Unfortunately, she's not the only one who can grant wishes.
After school bully Vincent Wu ruins yet another party, Mishka receives an anonymous request wishing he would die. Thinking it is nothing more than a peer venting over his cruel antics, his failure to turn up to school that week is perceived as welcome news. Finally, she can concentrate on getting into a good university and far away from her crumbling castle without being subjected to his torment.
It's only when her precious app is hacked that she realises she must find his killer or risk losing more than just her social status. This Young Adult modern murder mystery novel is inspired by the Brother Grimms' classic fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin. Full of twists and turns, readers will be left guessing Rumpel's true name until the very end...
