Summary

From the best-selling author of Wed Wabbit, Wished is a hilarious misadventure about how the biggest wishes can come true, in the most unexpected ways.

Ed and his sister, Roo, are faced with the most boring half-term holiday in history—five days spent in the company of their elderly neighbour, Miss Filey, and her ancient, smelly cat. But when they find a box of birthday candles in a cupboard in Miss Filey's house, their world is changed completely, because these are no ordinary candles, and every single one of them comes with a wish. 

There's only one problem—some of those wishes actually belong to someone else....

Very good for young children and adults

Very good idea to use a boring neighbour as a well planned character. Well done to all concerned in writing and performing it. Enjoy the experience!

Funny and original. Loved it!

Loved the characters and the humour and the sheer fun and madness of the events! And most of all I loved how big-hearted this story is. What a treat to hear Lissa Evans read the story herself. Perfection. ❤️
