Careful What You Wish For

by Maureen McCarthy

Reviewed by Jessica

Careful What You Wish For was an interesting enough book... but I didn't like the concept
of a magical rat??! Also, McCarthy was very prejudiced in her opinion of Catholicism going so far as to call one Nun 'Thunder Gut'! I'm sure if I published a book calling Muslim leaders names I would get some kind of radical response. Apart from this, I suppose I liked the concept that Ruth has to experiance three different lives before she realizes that her life is what she appreciates the most, snotty brothers, weird parents and all.
A good read for children eleven and under.
