The story begins with Frankie introducing the events of an eclipse in a faraway land. Inside the mysterious castle of a desert area, a genie named Gigi Grant was being chased by her shadow sister, Whisp, in order to gain her current finder's, Fawn, last wish. While Fawn is unaware of the danger occurring, she is being influenced by the whispers to grant all power to the shadow genie. While Gigi tries hard to keep Fawn aware, the eclipse arrives, and Whisp becomes real and gigantic. Seeing Whisp about to use Fawn to take the last wish, Gigi forces herself to break the rules and free Fawn of Whisp’s power using Grimm’s Magic Mirror. Gigi successfully manages to break the spell over Fawn but shatters the mirror. After the eclipses pass, Whisp returns to being a shadow. Fawn then uses her last wish to pull the mirror, Whisp, and Gigi, back into the Lantern. After a blinding light, Fawn wakes in the middle of the desert as the Lantern is taken away to the next finder…
Howleen apologizes as they clean while Clawdeen tries to understand her little sister’s reason but is dismissed by Howleen quickly. As she moves away and cleans more of the attic, Howleen eventually finds the Lantern and releases Gigi. The pink genie introduces herself and explains Howleen is her new finder and therefore is granted thirteen wishes. Howleen uses her first wish to wish the ghouls and herself out of detention. As Gigi grants the wish, they disappear in a flash of light and unintentionally frees Whisp. The shadow genie sees the opportunity of another eclipse and follows the ghouls unseen.
The ghouls later arrive at the Maul to fang out as Gigi elaborates on Howleen’s twelve remaining wishes and warns her there is a ‘dark side’ to using them. However, seeing Howleen too excited about using her wishes, Clawdeen advises Howleen to take Gigi’s words seriously. Howleen, however, takes it defensively and runs off with the Lantern while annoyed with her sister. Later back at Monster High, Draculaura helps Abbey Bominable run against Slo-Mo for Student Disembodied President while Frankie shows Gigi around Monster High. Despite the argument earlier, Howleen took the advice to heart and used some of her wishes to help her friends: Lagoona turns from saltwater to freshwater for Gil Webber's parents to like her, Clawd Wolf along with Heath Burns and Manny Taur get cast on the show Die trying, and Abbey becomes the new disembodied president. But before Howleen could congratulate herself, Gory Fangtell torments her in the bathroom and leaves her crying alone. Watching from afar, Whisp uses this opportunity to take advantage of Howleen to wish for things more for herself. She summons Gigi, who is alarmed by Whisp, and warns Howleen about the wishes. However, Whisp reminds her about the rules, and Howleen uses her next wish to become popular.
Frankie then talks with Gigi about her life in the Lantern and discovers that she’s lonely and will leave Monster High after the last wish is granted. Not wanting her new friend to leave, Frankie vows to help change Gigi’s life. As the days pass on around Monster High, some of the side-effects of the wishes begin to take effect around the school and causing problems such as Lagoona becoming obsessed with being freshwater, the obstacles of Die Trying become very dangerous, and Abbey’s ideas as president are not taken well by the school. Twyla then confides to tell Frankie and Gigi that Howleen was beginning to not act like herself, and she senses something within the shadows. Frankie asks if Gigi knows anything, but Gigi sadly tells that she cannot say anything due to the Lantern's magic. Frankie and Twyla then try to find out on their own what was wrong with Howleen but get dismissed thanks to Whisp's influence. Cleo then appears and irks Howleen enough to wish for Cleo to be turned into a nobody. Clawdeen later sees how Howleen dismisses her friends and finally confronts her about what she was doing. Howleen listens and is about to help after summoning Gigi but is disheartened when she hears Clawdeen doesn’t think she’s mature enough. She then uses her next wish to make Clawdeen disappear into the Lantern, leaving her shadow behind and giving Whisp more power.
Frankie, Draculaura, and Ghoulia notice the changes and later finds Gigi crying in the garden. Gigi is reluctant to explain (even when learning of the upcoming eclipse) that she is not allowed to influence the finder, but Frankie and Ghoulia point out that they are not the finder and Gigi should be able to tell them. Gigi realizes they are right before leading the ghouls away to the attic to explains everything about Whisp and how Clawdeen got banished to the Lantern. She also warns them of Whisp’s plan to use the eclipse and one of Howleen’s wishes to gain all the power to banish everyone and replace them with shadow versions to rule the world. Wanting to save their friends, Frankie and the others help devised a plan to help Clawdeen with the use of an exit to get out of the Lantern. They later find Howleen and Shadow Clawdeen in the bathroom and confront her to purposely be wished to the Lantern to find Clawdeen, unknowingly leaving their shadow versions behind. Gigi then leaves Howleen alone, alerting her of how many wishes remain.
Clawdeen then shows the ghouls the ‘Genieology’ telling of Gigi’s story and why she was reluctant to interfere. They use a map to search for the missing shard of the mirror.
The ghouls rejoin Howleen, grateful that she is alright. Howleen is grateful her friends never gave up on her as Gigi assures it’s safe for Howleen to use her last two wishes. Howleen uses the first one to undo all of her previous wishes, much to the delight of Monster High. Gigi is joined by a defeated Whisp, explaining the last wish will send them both back into the Lantern. The monsters are reluctant to let Gigi go and plead for her to stay. Gigi expresses she would love to, but cannot as long as she’s bound to the Lantern. Howleen then suggests another way to explain to Whisp she understood her plight before making her last wish for Gigi’s freedom and for Whisp to become what she always wanted to be: a real genie. Gigi happily grants the wish, freeing herself and allowing Whisp to become the new genie of the Lantern. Whisp leaves with the Lantern and falls down into the deep end pool to be found again someday.
A party is then held later that night to celebrate the eclipse, featuring a concert performed by Catty Noir. Gil is relieved to have Lagoona back to her real self and not what his parents wanted her to be. Cleo is happy to have Deuce and her popularity back while inviting to share with Howleen and Twyla. Clawd, Manny, and Heath almost win on ‘Die Trying’, though they have somewhat a traumatic experience. Frankie closes the story with the moral: Everyone has something they wish for, but they might not turn out what you really want. [13 Wishes]

Gigi warns her to be more mindful of any consequences, but Toralei keeps on wishing until a wish to have everyone talking about her results in a huge zit on her forehead. She leaves Gigi alone after that. [Source]
