The Mixed-Up Wishing Well
What's the book about?
An old well loves to hear people’s wishes, but because his ears are covered in moss, the wishes often come out mixed-up and silly. Different people come along hoping for their dreams to come true, and instead get funny surprises they never expected. With each wish, everyone learns that what you think you want isn’t always what will make you happiest in the end.

This book is about
The old wishing well did not see or hear very well because moss covered his ears and cobwebs covered his eyes. So he gave wrong wishes when people wished for things.
The main characters are
Shy Sarah, Greedy Gus, Vain Jane, Grab-a-lot, Rob-a-lot and the old wishing well.
My favourite part of the book is
When the wishing well turned into a young man and an old stone house, covered with moss and had cobwebs covering the windows.
I would also like to say
That I would like to meet a funny old wishing well too.

This book is about
the wishing well gives everyone the wrong wish
The main characters are
The wishing well, Sarah, a person who wanted to be pretty.
My favourite part of the book is
when two men got wrapped up in chains
I would also like to say
it is very funny and silly because the wishing well gives people silly wishes but in the end he does something that is near a right wish.
