Wish Again: Dreams Truth, Book Review and Goodreads Giveaway

Enter Goodreads Giveaway Here through January 15, 2013

 *** SPOILER ALERT ***

Wish Again: Dreams Truth, Book Two of the WISH Trilogy by Deby Adair is the sequel to Wish. There are many returning characters and several new ones. In this sequel Rielle and Pud are searching for Rielle's dream with the help of a butterfly called Far. But a mysteriously strong wind whisks Far away. Feeling responsible, Rielle makes the decision to return to Wish to tell Hope that she lost his butterfly. Along the way Rielle meets Old, a unique creature person, who knows of Wish and Hope and immediately befriends and accompanies her on her journey back to Wish.

Meanwhile, Willful James (Will) awakens as a human and no longer a bush after thousands of years in Wish. After such a long time he is ready to return to the real world, but the sorcerer that caused trouble in the first Wish book will not let him go so easily.

I enjoyed this sequel. Rielle and Pud are still adorable, but they are not the main focus of this story. The reader instead gets to know Will and his story; his sorrows and his journey back from despair. We also get to know Old, whom I loved. He is a great character that fits quite well with Rielle, Pud and Wish. These two characters are well developed and engaging. I found myself rooting for them at every turn.

Wish Again also has a lot more action in it than Wish. However, there is still a lot of talking just like in the first book. There is a lot to explain and it's not always exciting. The conversations do slow the book down and prevented me from getting into it right away. But the talk is broken up wisely with action and a little bit of suspense.  It really had me turning pages once Rielle, Pud and Old get to Wish.

The description is beautiful as always and easily visualized. It is always soothing to read even in the action parts that flow well without being confusing.

I recommend this book and cannot wait to read The Third Wish, which will undoubtedly be filled with a lot of heart, beauty and great action appropriate for all audiences.

Rating 4/5

I was provided with a copy for an honest review.

Guest post by Dawn Colclasure!  The Mother-Daughter Book: A Treasure to Cherish When I received a review copy of Between the Lines , a new novel by Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha van Leer, I had to smile. Seeing yet another mother-daughter book reminded me of my own newest book, which happens to be a book that my daughter and I co-wrote. Admittedly, when I asked my daughter, Jennifer Wilson, if she wanted to co-write a poetry book about dogs with me, I did so on a whim. I thought it would be a fun project for us to do. Something just for her and I to share together. I never imagined that one day, our little collaboration project would turn into an actual book. But Jennifer knows that I am not someone who just writes a book then tosses it to the wind. I have been writing books since before she was born, and she is well aware of how I write books on the computer that turn into real books that people can hold in their hands. And so it happened that she asked me if our little b

The Story Behind Moa by Tricia Stewart Shiu I've always loved Hawaii and was thrilled when my husband booked a visit for us to see his relatives in Honolulu, Hawaii in October of 2006. We packed light and brought our daughter, who was three-years-old at the time. Our condo was close to parks and monuments that oozed history. We enjoyed wandering around and indulging in the local cuisine. I even tried poi and liked it! The morning after we arrived, I rose early to push my daughter’s stroller through the quiet, cool morning air. It felt like such a gift to experience Honolulu before the rest of the island was up. After a hearty island breakfast, we
