The Wish List (novel)

[1][2][3] It chronicles the adventures of Meg Finn, a teenage girl killed in a gas explosion who must earn her place in Heaven by returning to Earth to help the pensioner she attempted to rob.

[4] Meg Finn is a teenage girl who tries to rob local pensioner Lowrie McCall's house to get money and run away from her abusive stepfather Franco.

Unbeknownst to St. Peter, Beelzebub has the technology wizard Myishi send Belch and the hologram Elph to capture Meg.

With no other purpose, she decides to do some good by helping the injured Lowrie to complete his wish list, four wrongs in his disastrous life that he feels he must right.

Although Meg is attacked by Belch, the completion of the wish blasts the dog-boy back to hell, taking him and Elph out of the picture for a time.

Belch and Elph pursue them in Franco's body on a motorbike, and succeed in stopping Lowrie's heart, dragging Meg to hell.

As she returns to the tunnel, the tunnel-mite Flit reminds her of pebbles given to her to extend her time on Earth, thus allowing Meg to go back and use the stones' power to revive Lowrie and help him complete his last wish.

Her last act of kindness sees Meg choose to give up her remaining time on Earth to restore Franco's life force.
