Review

Ophelia is a fairy that grants wishes to people. There are less and less wished granted these days because there is less magic in the world than there used to be. When Ophelia gets the chance to grant a wish she is thrilled but it isn’t as easy or straight forward as she thought and sometimes the wish that is most important gets passed over. The relationship between Ophelia and Sam the dog she befriends is wonderful. Sam is such a dog, any one that owns one or loves them will see that and fall in love with him. And Ophelia’s dilemma about fulfilling the wish she is supposed to when there are other wishes that seem so much more important is a feeling readers will easily empathize with. Wonderful book with humor, adventure, sad touches and happiness.

Overall Book Score: excellent
