The Wish

I just finished reading The Wish, and i have some thoughts on it. First of all, it is about this girl, Wilma, (personally, I think that Wilma is a wierd name), who meets an old lady on the bus, and gets a wish. I bet you can guess what she wished for, she wished to be the most popular kid at her school, (honestly, i think that that is a wierd thing to wish for, just be yourself). But they are in 8th grade, and graduation is coming soon, so that means... Wilma wont be popular for very long.

This book was really great. I would really reccomend it because it has a bunch of good lessons in it. For example, Wilma learns that she wants friends that like her for who she is. Also, that she should be herself, and not count on other people. And the last one, don't worry about what other people think.

During this book, the "voices in my head" were saying a bunch of things. Like, "I cant believe that wilma just said that!" Or, "Will jared still like Wilma after graduation?" And sometimes, "Will her friends believe her?" So you can see that this book made me think, but also make connections.

Also, this book had great detail, and I didnt want to stop reading it. I think that when Wilma tried to tell her "friends" about what had happened, they wouldnt believe her, but then they would come back because what she said, she ment. But, it ended up having her "friends" believe her right away, which I thought was weird.

I really hope that you consider reading this book. I would give it an 7 or 8. It is really good. Oh, and by the way, in my oppinion, this book might not be the best for boys. Remember, its really good!
