What a charming book! Hopeful, whimsical and ever so sweet, The Wishkeeper’s Apprentice is a book I loved as an adult and would have enjoyed as a child.
Rupus Beewinkle is an overworked wishkeeper. He needs an apprentice because there are so many wish snags, and he simply isn’t able to keep up. Unfortunately, the council refuses his request, and Rupus Beewinkle needs to take things into his own hands.
Enter Felix, who is increasingly upset because his sister Rebecca is now too busy to spend time with him. If only Rebecca would love him the way she used to …
What better way to unite a wishkeeper and a wish-maker than a wish? Felix becomes Rupus’s apprentice, and when he unwittingly reveals Rupus’s address to the wishsnatcher, he must act before it is too late.
The Wishkeeper’s Apprentice is a magical story about family and love, with eccentric characters and an unusual storyline. It is fast-paced and altogether lovely, with pictures and text coming together perfectly in a sweet, optimistic read.
