Wished cover

From the bestselling author of Wed Wabbit and Old Baggage, Wished is a hilarious misadventure about how the biggest wishes can come true, in the most unexpected ways.

Three children. One long, boring school holiday at an ancient neighbour's. One very old, very smelly cat. But when Ed and co find a box of birthday candles and make a wish, their world is changed completely. For with every candle comes a wish, but some of those wishes actually belong to someone else . . .
