"Known to friends and family as Lizzy, she takes care of her grandfather and their goats, she flirts with the woman who helps row the ferry, and she stays away from the fog that comes in the night -- and the monsters hiding within it. But Lizzy's life comes apart when she steals a handful of coins from a sacred well to cover a debt. The well requires repayment, but it doesn't deal in coins. It needs wishes, and its minions will drown Lizzy in its depths if she doesn't grant them. Lizzy finds herself on a quest to uncover hidden memories, bestow great wealth, and face the magical secrets that nearly destroyed her family -- and are now returning to threaten everything she has ever known. In this breathtaking graphic novel, Jake Wyatt and Choo have created a modern fable based on magic and family secrets, exploring the power - and limits - of wishes."--Back cover.… (meer)

Gr 8 Up—A young woman steals coins from a sacred well and must grant the wishes attached to the coins to
appease the well's spirit guardian. Themes of intergenerational legacies, danger, and a bit of romance are woven
together deftly in this standout fantasy quest.

I really enjoyed this short graphic novel. Jake Wyatt's story is more intended for juveniles but is still engaging and most definitely edifying. Choo artwork is simple in a very positive way. The influence of manga is apparent. The new perspective on the three wishes motif is original. ( )

A Leviathan, a mist, a wishing well and a curse. These are the things that Lizzy, must contend with when she steals three coins from a wishing well. This is a reverse tale of Aladdin, where Lizzy finds herself on a quest to seek out those who she stole the wishes from and grant the wishes before Lizzy drowns. However, she discovers that some of them don’t want their wishes granted, that they are “happy” with how life has turned out.

This was a beautifully drawn GN with rich colors and very expressive graphics, especially Lizzy’s facial expressions. There’s a background love story between Lizzy and Eli, a girl who helps row on the ferry that takes her back and forth to the markets. It’s also an interesting take on a single Grandparent raising his granddaughter after the death/disappearance of her family after defending the island from the Leviathan. ( )
