Better to Wish

Better To Wish

The book ‘Better To Wish’ is about a girl named Abby (Abigail). Abby couldn’t wait what would happen in the future. She always wanted to be older than her original age. She would be moving houses and having new siblings to take care of. Later on hardships come. Firstly her mother dies and then weeks after that, her best friend Sarah drowns.

My least favourite character was Abby’s dad. Why I dislike him is because he doesn’t like Catholics and he really wants Abby to marry Zander, their rich neighbor. She didn't want to marry him though. Another reason why I don’t like him is because he doesn't accept people of who they are like Fred. Fred is Abby’s only brother and he is not normal because when he was about 1 years old, he couldn't sit on a chair instead he would almost slide off.

I recommend this book to children ages 9+. Children who love books that come in a series would love this book because it is Book 1 of 4 books.
