Review:
This is book 1 in the new The Wish List series, and one that your daughter is sure to get hooked on! And any book that is FUN to read, means kids WILL read, right? Which means you need this one for the Summer reading list! Girls will easily relate to Isabelle and how she not only has to live up to the expectations of her grandmother, but of the her big sister. Add in the fact that grandma is President of the Fairy Godmothers, and there is a recipe for disaster, unless Isabelle can but her spuky mettle to order and pass her tests. The book will leave your kids laughing and wanting the next one in the series. It's great for reading out loud too! Miss Grace gives it a high thumbs up!
