Summary: ~The Wish* Be careful what you wish for!
Review: Have you ever dreamed of a wish come true? Have no fear your wish for a great book is here! The Wish is about a young girl named Wilma. Wilma is considered an outcast to her school. One day she gives up her seat to an old lady on the bus, the lady turns out to be a fairy and gives her one wish. Being in middle school and knowing how painful it is to go unnoticed Wilma wishes to be popular and soon has a zillion friends. People start noticing her. Will her luck run out? Will the spell disappear almost as suddenly and unexpectedly as it came? This book shows you that what you say it actually very important. I would definitely recommend this book because it's about a girl that's just trying to fit in.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not really sure
Review: I never finished this book because, well, it just didn't keep my interest. I love Gail Carson Levine as an author, but I don't think this was her best book. I wasn't bad or anything, just kind of,well... boring.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book ever
Review: The Wish was an awesome book. I give it 5 stars because its entertaining and funny. I loved it so much that I read it in one night. I could relate to it alot. Every kid should read this book. I can't wait to buy Gail Carson Levine's other books. In conclusion....The Wish is the best book I have ever read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Gail's Best
Review: This was a good book, however I don't enjoy modern day fairy tale books. It talks about how being 'popular' isn't always the most important thing in life. I wish it had more plot though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE WISH
Review: A girl named Wilma Strurz was a very unpopular kid at school. At least that's what she thought until she meet an old lady on the subway. The old lady granted Wilma one wish. Wilma wished to be the most popular kid at school. Wilma had more friends than she could count and forty dates for the Grad Night Dance. Wilma finally realized that her popularity may not last forever. The thing I liked about this book was that it was exciting to read and what I didn't like was that this book was that it didn't make sense if you read it really fast. This book would be best for girls at the age of 13, if you read at a medium speed, and if you are into fantasies.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not one of Levine's best...
Review: I love all of Gail Carson Levine's other books(too many to name), but this was not one of her best. It is the never ending plot of how a girl wants to be popular, but isn't, but she gets a wish and she becomes popular, then she realizes that being popular isn't all that important. This is such a cliched plot, it almost most made me sick. Even to the die hard fans(like me), I wouldn't reccommend it. If you have never seen this cliched plot, read it, but you probably have, so don't.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wilma the Popular
Review: Do you like books with magic and problems about kids your age, well here is a book called the wish. It's about a girl named Wilma who's unpopular and has no friends. But her whole world turns around when she meets an old lady on the subway. The old lady grants her the wish of being popular and suddenly she has more friends than she can count and forty dates for the gradnight dance. When the wish ends she finds out who her real friends are. I liked this book because it was funny and had entertaining. I recomend this book to girls in their early teens.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wish
Review: I am also an 8th grade girl. This book made me understand how popularity works. It isn't that important. Friends count more.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good last act
Review: I get a bit tired of the fact that these girl protagonists of kids' novels are usually good writers. That's why I like Huck Finn; he isn't a good writer in the traditional sense.

The Wish has a very good last act where the spell ends and the protagonist suffers the consequences.

The narrator of the audiobook is talented. The only problem I had with her is the silly voices she uses for the boy characters. Two of them are supposed to be somewhat attractive and charming but the narrator's voices for both make them seem very dopey.

Summary: The Wish, a good book to read
Review: I find it pointless to write a reveiw telling the plot of a book. I read this book last year in a program called Girlstalk. I found it intreaguing. I thought that the main character was interesting. I could relate to her but only in some ways. This was not my favorite book by Gail Carson Levine. It was still a very good book though.
