The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer Review

The Wishing Game written by Meg Shaffer which was published in 30 May 2023. You can read this before The Wishing Game PDF EPUB full Download at the bottom. Another element that was done really well in here was the humor, which felt very natural and seamless throughout the story. I love banter between characters that isn’t deliberately funny, but still has the ability to make me laugh, and there was the perfect amount of that in this story. It’s even more wonderful when the banter isn’t just between the characters in a romantic relationship (though yes, it was fun following the back and forth between Lucy and Hugo in most of their scenes), but also features significantly into the relationships between the other characters as well. I especially enjoyed the dynamics of Jack and Hugo’s “pseudo father/son” relationship, which had me laughing one minute and moved to tears the next minute. Actually, the various relationship dynamics was one of the main elements that set this story apart from its inspiration, which is also what made the story more compelling in my opinion. If I had to sum this one up, I would say that it’s an imaginative, magical, bookish take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but for adults. It’s also a story with lots of heart (I agree with everyone who said reading this book is like getting a big warm hug, lol), but what I love most is its underlying message about hope and wishes as well as the power of books to change lives. A wonderful homage to books and reading as well as a tribute to a childhood favorite (I love how Shaffer dedicated this book to “Charlie”), this is a book that I highly recommend and hope that many readers will love it as much as I did.

Brief Summary of the Book

Jack Masterson is the Mastermind in a collection of children’s books, although he has not written one in decades. He lives on an island, the real Clock Island which his stories are based on. So popular were the books that children from all over would write to him with their wishes and some even tried to get to his Island. The books are loved by all, but Jack has been unable to continue them. He lives on the secluded island with the illustrator of the series, Hugo Reese who is very worried about Jack. Hugo feels it’s time to move on but can’t leave until he knows Jack will be ok. Hugo knows all of Jack’s secrets which makes him even more worried about leaving. Lucy Hart is a teacher’s aide. She loves her job and especially one of her students, a young boy named Christopher Lamb whose parents died tragically and is in foster care with an overwhelmed couple dealing with their own children. Lucy desperately wants to foster him or even adopt Christopher, but she is monetarily in no position to do so. Although she has parents and a sister, she left them years ago as her childhood was filled with always feeling left out of her family and very unimportant to them. Her sister, who had been very sickly was most important to the family and Lucy was an afterthought, being shuffled to live with her grandparents. The only thing which got her through these times were the Clock Island books by Jack Masterson. And she has passed her love of these to Christopher in hopes he too can feel the love which exudes from the stories.
