AS YOU WISH by
Chelsea Sedoti
This teen book asks a lot of heavy questions in a very
engaging way. Although the main character is at times a twit, teens will
readily identify with him.
In the desert city of Madison, Nevada, each person upon reaching
their 18th birthday , enters the “wishing cave” and makes a wish.
Think carefully and pronounce your wish correctly because it will come true
just as you speak it. Some ask for money,
some love, some a long time desire, but they all come true.
Eldon’s birthday is quickly approaching. What will he ask
for? What would YOU ask for? How will it affect the rest of your life?
Tragedy, morality, selfishness, altruism and more are touched
on as Eldon’s Wish Day comes ever closer. Friendship, family, love, despair, happiness,
contentment are topics easily discussed after reading this charmingly written
book. Adults will appreciate the questions
and wonder about their answers as well.
4 of 5 stars
