Book in an excellent condition - Sadly no wrapper. >>> Eoin Colfer has made millions of fans around the world with his much-loved character, Artemis Fowl, the star of his hugely best-selling series. Now Colfer introduces readers to a lovable but troubled heroine, who has been given the opportunity for a special kind of redemption. Meg Finn is in trouble-unearthly trouble. Cast out of her home by her stepfather after her mother's death, Meg is a wanderer, a troublemaker. But after her latest stunt, finding a place to sleep is the least of her worries. Belch, her partner in crime, has gotten her involved in the attempted robbery of an elderly man, Lowrie McCall. And things go horribly wrong. After an accidental explosion, Meg's spirit is flung into limbo, and a race begins between the demonic and the divine to win her soul. Irreverent, hilarious, and touchingly hopeful, The Wish List takes readers on a journey of second chances, where joy is found in the most unexpected places. (Goodreads) >>> An interesting character was Lowrie McCall. He is lonely old man, a funny old man at that and is in a totally bad health condition. Meg Finn (main character) had to fulfill his Wish List (thus the name), to make her aura blue and gain access to heaven which has St.Peter as the gatekeeper. I thought giving him an iPhone to monitor the residents was a great touch. But if she screws up any wish, her aura turn red and sends her to hell. Also Satan and his assistant Beelzebub are trying desperately to get her to hell. But Lowrie doesn't make life any easier for the 13 year old Meg. He has some absurd wishes up his sleeve and is determined to get them done. - Satan was crouched in the corner of his office, playing a gameboy, 'Die alien scum' he was saying feverishly.. This quote perfectly shows how funny and creative the book is. This is exactly why I like Eoin Colfer's writing style, it never ceases to surprise the reader. "Maybe ahemming the Master of the Underworld was a bit of a no no." This quote also proves my point. Overall it takes the Heaven and Hell concept to a whole new level. (Amith Cheeran)
