The Wish Giver

The Wish Giver is a standalone novel, and readers do not need to read any other books to understand its plot or characters. It offers a complete narrative within its pages.

The Wish Giver was recognized with a Newbery Honor in 1987, acknowledging its distinguished contribution to American children's literature.

The Wish Giver shares a similar whimsical tone and focus on magical realism with Brittain's other works, such as "Devil's Donkey" and "All the Money in the World." It often features a small-town setting where supernatural events unfold with unexpected consequences for the characters.
