Wished

by Lissa Evans, illustrated by Bec Barnes - £7.99  David Fickling Books (2023)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781788452038 | ISBN 10: 1788452038

‘Lissa Evans is a marvel... a genuinely funny, clever writer who takes you to the last place you expected to go’ The Times 
 
Ed and his sister, Roo, are faced with the most boring half-term holiday in history: five days spent in the company of their elderly neighbour Miss Filey and her ancient, smelly cat. 
 
But when they find a box of birthday candles in a cupboard in Miss Filey’s house, their world is changed completely. These are no ordinary candles: every single one of them comes with a real wish.
 
There’s only one problem: some of those wishes actually belong to someone else...
 
Lissa Evans’ trademark dazzling creativity, sharp humour and perceptive wisdom are woven through this delightful, charming novel. An aspirational celebration of following your dreams, Wished is a heart-warming story of friendship, and a reminder for us all to cherish the power of our imaginations. We never know where they might lead...
 
Recommended for readers aged 8-12
