Wish Come True [Paperback]

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Lyssie, 15, spends a lot of time wishing. Now that her family has moved to a new town to take care of cranky Aunt Reva, she wishes that she could have a boyfriend, a best friend and voice lessons, and that Reva would laugh. For Lyssie's birthday, Reva gives her an antique mirror that had been her sister's. Reva drops enticing hints about her sister's death, and about the mysterious power of the mirror, which Lyssie thinks is just talk until she discovers Reva's diary. Then she realizes that there are strange forces at work, and she knows she must get rid of the mirror before another tragedylike the one that killed Reva's sisteroccurs. This light novel calls to mind the works of Lois Duncan's suspenseful stories, made generic and washed clean of all compelling characterizations. Readers addicted to the suspense genre may find this mildly appealing, however; if its aims are modest, at least it fulfills all expectations. Ages 12-up.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Wish Come True (Paperback)

Wish Come True by Ann Gabhart is an awesome book that I recommend to anyone that believes in wishing. Wish Come True is about a girl ,Alyssa, that gets a magical mirror for her BirthDay. When ever she makes a wish in front of the mirror,the wish comes true. Alyssa and her family moved in with their aunt Reva. Reva said that it was a bad idea that she chose the mirror. Later in the story Alyssa finds out that earlier in life,the mirror had caused a death to Reva's sister ,Millicent, who once had the mirror before her.
Alyssa is a character that had to move in with her aunt Reva along with her family. For Alyssa's BirthDay ,her aunt Reva told her to go pick something from the attic. Alyssa chose A mirror with magical powers. Alyssa is a very pretty girl with long blonde hair and grey eyes. Alyssa is very interested in the school's chorus because she is a very good singer. Her Dad calls her Lyssie the wisher because she never stops wishing.
This book is very good because the characters are very funny and serious at the same time. I recommend it to anyone and everyone.



DON'T FORGET...NEVER STOP WISHING!!!
