About a year ago I discovered how much I loved Melanie
Dickerson’s books. After I read the first book in this series, I went and found
all her books and read them. I have loved all of her books so when The Orphan’s
Wish became available, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it! This book did not
disappoint! I actually had not read anything about it before I started reading
it so it wasn’t until I was a couple chapters in that I realized it was based
on Aladdin’s story. Both Aladdin and Lady Kirstyn have wishes in this story.
They are both wishing for something that may not be considered acceptable in
that day and age. She comes from a wealthy and powerful family. He grew up in
an orphanage. Their worlds are miles apart, yet they desire to be together and
will do whatever it takes to be there for each other and take care of each
other. I love the friendship you see between the two friends and how they grow
to love each other even more.
You will enjoy The Orphan’s Wish! Be sure to check out
all of Melanie Dickerson’s other books, too!
I received a
complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions
expressed in this review are completely my own.
