Bloomsbury presents this fun and unique children’s book Wishbone written by Justine Pucella Winans, read by Sam Krochmal perfect for students going back to school or #Homeschooling Families for reading time.
Wishbone is for Middle Schoolers but I can see older children and adults enjoying this chapter book as well. You will find suspense and drama galore and children will not want to put this book down. Charlie likes it because it showcases bullies which he also faced when in School.
Charlie and I were sad to see his family fighting which no, child should have to witness. Should they? Ollie worries about so many things children shouldn’t have to worry about but it teaches children things will be okay as long as we don’t give up.
There is magic in the book which you might think would be a good thing but it isn’t. No, I’m not going to tell you what happens because you need to pick up a copy of Wishbone to find out for yourself. This might not be a book you want to read at night.
About:
Coraline meets Ghost Squad in this terrifying story about what happens when you aren’t careful what you wish for.
Ollie Di Costa wishes things could be different.
He wishes the bullies at school would leave him alone. He wishes his parents would stop fighting. He wishes his sister Mia didn’t have to worry about things like paying for college. But most of all, he wishes he wasn’t so angry about all of this.
When he and Mia find a two-tailed cat they name Wishbone, Ollie takes comfort in telling him everything he wishes would change—then suddenly, it does. Everything Ollie and Mia wish for comes true, and it’s like all of their problems are solved. But magic comes at a price. Whatever they wish for is not simply given to them, but taken from others. And to make matters worse, a mysterious shadow man called The Mage is after Wishbone and his power. With each wish, darkness takes over more and more of their world, and worst of all, it threatens to take over Ollie, too. But can he let go of everything he’s ever wanted?
Justine Pucella Winans, author of the Stonewall Honor book The Otherwoods, brings us another bone-chilling middle grade horror, urging listeners to not only be careful what you wish for, but beware of who you may become if you aren’t.
