A heartwarming, tenderly witty debut about belief - in friendship, in yourself and, maybe, in just a little magic. "I don' t know exactly how wishes work. But I knew a man that did. " Phyll is having a difficult summer. Her family has moved to the seaside, but it' s a long way from perfect. Her mum is sick, she has an enemy called Hilda, and someone is stealing dogs. Then Phyll meets Mr Djinn - a wise old man who insists he' s a genie. It' s a tough claim to believe, until Phyll starts wishing for change. . .
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was invested in the range of characters, [. . . ] Recommend and will definitely be ordering a copy. -- Isabelle Coulson * NetGalley * I have to admit to having tears in my eyes as I finished this wonderful story of friendship, self-belief, wishes and the possibility of magic. The characterisation is superb: Mr Djinn especially has some powerful things to say. . . My wish having put the book aside is that Andy Jones writes another story as beautiful and moving as this, his first for children. -- Jill Bennet * Red Reading Hub * Full of warmth, wit, family and friendship, nasty bullies and dog-stealing villains, and a little pinch of magic. . . this is a perfect summer read. -- Richreadalot * What I Read Blog * This was a book that I instantly fell in love with. Covering mental health and depression amongst parents and exploring themes of hope, fear and anxieties, this is a book that isn' t just going to support young people but educate as well. Wishes Come in Threes is written with sensitivity and compassion throughout. Plus everyone needs a bit of magic in their lives to make the world a better place sometimes and this story is so heart-warming it filled me with that magic feeling. Wishes Come in Threes is a fantastic debut novel and I really hope Andy Jones is going to continue writing as I am really looking forward to what stories he creates next. . . A beautiful story which will be perfect for any school library. -- Miss Suffield * Little Blog of Library Treasures * This is a story of friendship and family. Of being lost and being found. A story about moving somewhere new and dealing with change. A story about living with depression. This is a tale of growing up and navigating the choppy waters of the world around you. This is a story about believing in yourself and in others. This is a gritty, witty story about the peaks and troughs of real life sprinkled with just a little magic! -- Jennie * Edspire Blog *
