      abstract = {"A brilliantly original debut graphic novel that imagines  a fantastical Cairo where wishes really do come true. Deena  Mohamed brings to life a cast of characters whose struggles  and triumphs are heartbreaking, inspiring, and deeply  resonant. Shubeik Lubeik -- a fairy-tale rhyme that means  "your wish is my command" in Arabic -- is the story of  three people who are 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. Aziza learned early that life can be hard, but  when she loses her husband and manages to procure a wish,  she finds herself fighting unreasonable regulations and  inequality for the right to have -- and make -- that wish.  Nour is a privileged college student who secretly struggles  with depression and must decide whether to use their wish  to try to "fix" this depression. And, finally, Shokry must  grapple with his religious convictions as he decides how to  help a friend who doesn't want to use her wish. Although  their stories are fantastical, each of these people  wrestles with the very real challenge of trying to make  their most deeply held desires come true." -- Back cover.},
