About this listen

From the best-selling author of Wed Wabbit, Wished is a hilarious misadventure about how the biggest wishes can come true, in the most unexpected ways.

Ed and his sister, Roo, are faced with the most boring half-term holiday in history—five days spent in the company of their elderly neighbour, Miss Filey, and her ancient, smelly cat. But when they find a box of birthday candles in a cupboard in Miss Filey's house, their world is changed completely, because these are no ordinary candles, and every single one of them comes with a wish.

There's only one problem—some of those wishes actually belong to someone else....

Loved the characters and the humour and the sheer fun and madness of the events! And most of all I loved how big-hearted this story is. What a treat to hear Lissa Evans read the story herself. Perfection. ❤️

Funny and original. Loved it!
