Wish by Barbara O’Connor
Reviewed by Avery
I read the book Wish by Barbara O’Connor and the genre of this book is
Domestic Fiction.
The reason why I chose this book for my book talk is because I saw a dog
on the cover. And as you probably know, I LOVE dogs. So when I saw
a dog on the cover of the book, I thought it would be a very interesting
book to read.

One thing I enjoyed about this book is that there is a lot of suspense in it
so you really want to keep reading it. One thing I disliked about this book
is that it took so long for Charlie and Howard to catch Wishbone!
People I would recommend this book to is animal lovers, and sad book lovers
