Book Summary:
When a sinister old woman leaves Griffin Penshine a box of twelve shiny pennies, she sets in motion a desperate quest; because the old woman was a wish stealer, and each penny represents a wish she stole from a wishing fountain decades earlier. Somehow, Griffin has to make things right, or the opposite of her own wishes will come true; and it could literally be a matter of life and death. The Wish Stealers introduces a new voice in middle-grade fantasy, as bright and sparkling as Griffin’s pennies
My Review:
Though this book is intended for children I was very much intrigued by the concept of the story. It made for a nice, quick, delightful read for me and i found myself thoroughly wishing the story would continue long after i finished it.
I think this would be a great book for any middle school teacher to share with kids. It has a great opportunity to teach.
Rating: 5 stars
