This book is available at the following links: Amazon UK | Amazon US There was never a dull moment as things seemed to go from bad to worse before Marten finally realises the power wishes hold and how he should use them.Ī great tale of friendship and magic, as well as time travelling! A fantastic read. Time travelling with his best friend, Pete, Marten discovers some secrets his mother is keeping, while trying to put things right and get his brother back. The ramifications of this wish make Marten realise just how cruel he’s been to his little brother at times, and that he actually misses his brother. He wishes that his brother would be gone. Marten has had enough of his annoying little brother, Aldrin, and when his mother takes them out to star gaze, he makes a wish on a star. And if he runs out of time, even wishes might not be enough to save the ones he loves.Ī beautiful story that has the all too familiar message of ‘be careful what you wish for’. With the present uncertain and his brother’s future in limbo, Marten finds himself stuck in his past.

So when he makes an impulsive wish during a meteor shower, he doesn’t expect it to make any difference.

His parents ignore him, his little brother is a pain and his family is talking about moving to Texas. Marten doesn’t believe in the power of wishes. I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
