Wish by Alexandra Bullen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alexandra Bullen's writing style reminds me of Meg Cabot. Wish was her first book. Her second book, Wishful Thinking, seems to have the same magical element to it. She is a very talented author, and I think we will be seeing a lot more of her work.
When I first started reading Wish, after looking at the jacket copy, I thought it would make a much better story if it were about a girl loosing her sister than one wishing to get her back. I judged the story too quickly. It was about a girl coping with her loss.
This story was excellent. It helps the reader to grow and accept unpleasant change just as the main character must. But it also reminds us never to stop living just to live longer or safer.
I would recommend this story to teens and up. There are a few aspects of the book that wouldn't be appropriate for younger readers.
