Description

A heartwarming, tenderly witty debut about belief in friendship, in yourself and, maybe, in just a little magic.

I dont know exactly how wishes work. But I knew a man that did.
Phyll is having a difficult summer. Her family has moved to the seaside, but its a long way from perfect. Her mum is sick, she has an enemy called Hilda, and someone is stealing dogs. Then Phyll meets Mr Djinn a wise old man who insists hes a genie. Its a tough claim to believe, until Phyll starts wishing for change

Reviews

Phyll is a brilliant character, dealing with a lot (as many kids are). She is relatable and interesting someone who can be afraid and brave at the same time, which is something I know many of us feel. Its hard when you have to deal with family troubles, friendship troubles and just life troubles in general. Sometimes we feel strong and stand up for the things we believe in, but other times it becomes too hard and we just need to sit back for a while. This is Phyll, too, and we get to cheer her on from this side of the page as she works through whats happening in her world. Wishes Come in Threes is a splendid mix of contemporary and fantasy. It hits both genres masterfully, providing kids with a special adventure that is both real and not (or is it). * Kids Book Review *
This can be read as a straightforward narrative of growing up but there are other layers to be explored. * Reading Time *
