Book Review

(by- Linda )

The Wishing Game is a charming mix of playfulness, emotion, and nostalgia. The book takes readers to the magical Clock Island, where the boundaries between made-up stories and real life are fuzzy, creating an atmosphere of whimsical fun and intrigue.

Lucy, a woman on a quest for meaning in her life, is easy to relate to and instantly likable. Her bond with Christopher, a young boy full of promise, forms the story's heart, drawing readers in with its emotional depth.

The supporting cast, including the mysterious Jack Masterson, makes the story more interesting. Shaffer brings back childhood wonder with the popular Clock Island books and honors old favorites while telling a unique tale.

The Wishing Game is about forgiveness, getting another chance, and how people connect; a story about finding where you belong.

The Wishing Game is a happy book. It's perfect for people who like cozy mysteries and contemporary fiction. Don't be surprised if you find yourself embracing the magic of storytelling and believing in the power of wishes.
