The first book in the wishes series
|
For eleven year old Holly, the last six weeks have been the
worst of her young life. Her mother lies
in a coma following a car accident, the doctors unable to say when, if ever,
she might regain consciousness. With Christmas just one week away, Holly’s one wish is to
have her mother home with her on Christmas Day – a wish she knows is unlikely
to be fulfilled. Then, on the eve of her twelfth birthday, her dad buys her a
magician’s set from a strange old man he bumps into by accident in town. The set proves to be very special; a spell
book and a real wand, and suddenly Holly finds that magic exists everywhere –
even in the saddest moments of her life. Under the guidance of Charlie, Holly learns to do the sort
of magic we can only dream about, with hilarious and sometimes dangerous
results! As Holly’s life begins to brighten, she still holds onto her
one true wish – to have her mother home again, and muses over the opening words
in the spell book: This
book is for the use of Holly Jackson Congratulations
