Review
Ruby is an ordinary girl who has an extraordinary gift!
Just imagine what it would be like if you could just wish for anything that you wanted! For Ruby, when her fingers are tingly, this is exactly what she can do. But once again, Ruby realises that it isn't as easy as it seems.
Although this story is about imagination and magic, the lessons that we can learn from it about being kind, thinking of and helping others, acceptance, having consequences for our actions and the importance of family relationships, are thoroughly evident throughout.
Junior to middle girls will enjoy this next instalment in the Ruby Wishfingers series, and I am sure many will be hoping that Ruby’s magic might rub off on them! But remember, be careful what you wish for...
