Daring to follow her Nana-Marie\u2019s stories of magical wishes, Emma is convinced her life WILL change for the better.<\/span><\/h2>\n

After all, it is changing for the better for her two best friends, \u00a0Kennedy, with her amazing success at YouTube gaming videos and Allie going all in for cheerleading.<\/p>\n

Only being at home with Mum eating meatballs and watching old episodes of Friends \u00a0can comfort Emma as things go from bad to worse.<\/p>\n

Why is it when new kid, Jackson is about awful things happen to Emma?<\/p>\n

Is it possible her wishes have been transferred to him?<\/p>\n

If so, can they be transferred back?<\/p>\n

The Wish List tackles the tricky transition time of being twelve head on as Emma starts Seventh Grade and everything changes.<\/p>\n

Examining the bonds of friendship and learning to adapt as they transform through time, Lynn Painter lends a wonderful humourous touch to this story.<\/p>\n

An easy and enjoyable read that skips along. Took me back to my days of reading Judy Blume but with magic in the air!<\/span><\/h2>\n
