This story is a beautiful example of a fun and lighthearted young adult book. Many of the YA book today are dark romances and have the well known bad boy, but this one is different and it was one of the things I liked most. There was whimsy, danger, and two best friends who would do anything to save each other. The emotion packed into these pages was heartwarming and sweet. I also enjoyed the meeting the different creatures and learning more about the faerieground. The voices of these two characters were different and yet complemented each other. I really liked hearing both of their POV’s. I also liked how real their characters were and seeing the depth of their friendship. I could easily have pictured me and my best friend when we were that young. I would recommend this book to all age groups, but especially to the younger generation of girls who I think would really enjoy the whimsy and magical feeling of Faerieground. Background: Willow Forest is a mysterious and magical place and Soli and Lucy have been told never to wish while there. The forest has a connection to Faeries and they will make your wishes come true, only not as you intended them. When Lucy betrays Soli, Soli accidentally makes a wish while in the forest and her friend becomes trapped in Faerieground. It is up to Soli to retrieve Lucy and right everything. Review: I really enjoyed this read. It was beautifully illustrated and I have a love for all things faerie, so it was right up my alley. The text is interspersed with vibrant and realistic illustrations of the girls and their events and the story is set up more like a short story/ graphic novel combination. The lines of text are very short and to the point, make wonderfully for young readers. The story really embraces the 'be careful what you wish for' theme to the extreme and the idea that friendships should withstand even the most trying of circumstances. The images along with the story are absolutely captivating and it is only the first in this easy to read and beautiful series. I recommend it for lovers of short stories, faeries, and middle grade readers. The story is rather predictable, despite several extremely obvious (and rather see-through) attempts at twists. A strong feature is alternating viewpoints, with clear stylistic differences so readers can easily tell who is speaking. As to the artwork itself, it is stunning, with depth enough to completely absorb readers. The clarity suggests photographic media, but the richness is more like oil paints. This is one book where even imagination couldn't match the art. FAERIEGROUND: WISH by Beth Bracken & Kay Fraser is a fast paced Young readers,ages 10-14 read with beautiful illustrations. First in the "Faerieground" series. Step into Willow Forest,make a wish and end up in Faerieground. Wishes may come true but at what cost,nothing is free so two young girls will learn. Filled with action,magic,friendship,growing up,love,and the power of wishes.Follow Soli and Lucy on an adventure of a lifetime. Ask yourself this question, what would you do for a friend? Young readers are sure to enjoy "Faerieground: Wish". I know I did and hope to read the next installment. Received for an honest review from the publicist.
