Welcome to Make5Wishes

Hana just doesn't fit in. At school, she feels like the invisible girl. ("No. Not invisible. Being invisible would've been cool. I just wasn't worth noticing.")

Customer Reviews

A dark but somehow enchanting caution tale.

Well the ending was basically spoiled for me by one of the reviews on here, but even so I couldn't wait to get this book. It was everything I expected uit to be, and more. This review will contain spoilers, so please do not say I didn't warn you. Hana makes her wishes, thinking they'll turn out just like in those fantasy movies where you tell the genie your wish and POOF! the wish comes true. She doesn't think about how these wishes will come true, and thus is crushed when, because of her wish for her parents' happiness, her parents end up splitting up. The wish demon explains that her father will now be with the other woman and be happy, while after time passes her mother will move on and find someone she'll love, and neither will be trapped in a loveless marriage. But of course, Hana never thought things through like that, and was still unhappy. And time after time, Hana goes through tragedy because of what she wished for and when she makes her last wish, to meet Avril in real life, she thinks the demon tricked her when she ends up dressed as Avril and looking almost just like her, thus being a real life Avril. And rather than live through all this tragedy and rise above it, like she was meant to, she jumps off a bridge to try and get rid of her mistakes and of the wish demon. The wish demon never wanted her to kill herself, and tells her that she was suppose to live in the end. He had never tricked her, giving her exactly what she wished for, even meeting Avril (who was in disguise at the time so Hana didn't realize it). By the end there's a chance she survived, but it's never explicitly stated that she survived. The moral to this tale, in my opinion, is this: -Things do not always turn out how you planned. What you want and what you wish for may be two different things. But just because something bad happens, that's no reason to quit. What you have to do is live through the bad times and rise through the tragedies that life has. If you give up on life just because of the bad, you'll never live to enjoy the good the future might bring.

These books are great!!!

I have searched for something to get my pre-teen daughter interested in reading, and this series is great! I could't find anything to keep her interest, but she's is a huge Avril fan and when I saw that she was involved in writing these, I knew this would do the trick!!! She loved the first book, so I bought this one as soon as it was available! She says that these are FUN to read! Yeah!!!

Great!!!

It's a good book left me on a cliffhanger but it just makes you want to buy the other book. I can't wait for the other book!!!!
