An anthology series of horror stories by contemporary British screenwriters.

The Psammead is an 'it', an ancient, ill-tempered sand-fairy with a spider-shaped body, bat-like ears, and snail-like eyes. It is grumpy but has the power to grant one wish a day, which must be made before sunset. Five siblings—Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and infant Hilary—encounter It and experience the highs and lows of frivolous wish-making.

Ever since they were born on the same day, eleven-year-olds' Gemma and Alice have been the best of friends, sharing everything from birthday wishes and secrets to laughter and tears.
