The Wish-Bringer - Couverture souple

In the second instalment of this new trilogy from the multi-award winning author Geraldine McCaughrean, the Little Monk who brings both good and bad luck is begrudgingly transformed into the Wish-Bringer. Encouraged by his mysterious friend Napolina, only when she isn't looking too closely does he return to mischief-making. There is one wish, however, that Monacello cannot grant; he still does not know the rest of his story. In The Wish-Bringer, once again beautifully illustrated with Jana Diemberger's stunning artwork, Monacello comes one step closer to discovering the truth about his past. When it comes to the Little Monk though, bad luck can never be far away, and soon Monacello is called upon to grant the hardest wish of all...

Geraldine McCaughrean's previous best-selling titles include Peter Pan in Scarlet, the only official sequel to Peter Pan, published in 2006; The Death Defying Pepper Roux (2009); and White Darkness (2008). She has won every major children's book prize: the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize in 1989 for A Pack of Lies, and she is the only author to have won the Whitbread Award three times (1987 for A Little Lower than the Angels, 1994 for Gold Dust and 2004 for Not the End of the World).
