I read the first read of As You Wish and wanted to read more. When the book finally arrived I started it and could hardly sleep at night because I wanted to keep reading. I is a great book to read and to help us all to realize that even if we had everything we wished for, it still would not be enough. We will never be happy and in fact, some things we wish for will make us unhappy. This story shows how adults and adolescents make mistakes and sometimes we have to live with those mistakes for life. Given power is something that we must take seriously and use wisely, as the kids in the story figured out by looking at the adults in their town and seeing what they wished for and how some of them back fired.
