The Wish, by Gail Carson Levine, is a book about a girl (Wilma) who desperately wants to be liked by her peers. She meets an old lady on the bus and decides to offer her seat to her. The old lady. The Wish is about popularity and unpopularity in the eighth grade. My worst year popularity-wise was tenth grade. Every day I walked from the New York City subway station to school and back again - alone in the midst of crowds of friends. This trauma is in the book, true to life. Through a special program in my junior high I skipped eighth grade. She's just a regular eighth grade girl. However, like with other books by Gail Carson Levine, there is magic, a fairy (or a witch, it's never fully explained), and a lesson to be learned. The lesson here is one about popularity, with a sublesson of being true to one's self.
