Ed and his sister Roo are faced with the most boring half-term holiday in history: five days spent in the company of their elderly neighbour Miss Filey, and her ancient, smelly cat. But when they find a box of birthday candles in a cupboard in Miss Filey' s house, their world is changed completely. These are no ordinary candles, every single one of them comes with a wish. There' s only one problem: some of those wishes actually belong to someone else . . .
Very wise, very magic, very, very funny * Hilary McKay * It seems that Lissa Evans only writes instant classics . . . she' s one of the funniest writers for any age * Anthony McGowan * I can' t stop thinking about this beautiful and very funny book * Jenny McLachlan * A superbly funny misadventure about unexpected friendships and living life to the full * Editor' s Choice, The Bookseller * A perfect, flawless, funny, touching book, with the best grumpy talking cat of all time * Nicola Skinner *
Lissa Evans still remembers writing her first joke, aged 7 (it involved a hippo). She never lost her interest in funny lines, and, following a medical degree, she changed careers to become a comedy producer for radio and TV. Her children' s novels have been shortlisted for the Costa Children' s Book Award, Carnegie Medal, and Branford Boase Award. Her books for adults include Their Finest Hour and a Half, which was longlisted for the Baileys Prize and made into a recent film (Their Finest, starring Bill Nighy); Old Baggage and V for Victory.
