The Summer My Wishes Came True

About this book

When Ayesha overhears her best friend Nikki saying she's immature, she's devastated. They've just got to summer camp together, and Ayesha was assuming they'd do everything together, as usual. But Nikki wants to hang out with their new roommates. So when Ayesha's wishes start coming true, she wishes for Nikki to be her best friend again. Will this really make them both happy?

This charming story about the challenges of friendships - particularly in Year 8 - has it all: relatable characters, wishes coming true (lie-ins! delicious snacks! sunny weather!), a musical production of Mean Girls, true friends... even a cute boy. The focus is firmly on friendship and being true to yourself, set over two weeks of realising that your friend is now into different things from you. Many readers may recognise this heartbreaking change in the friendship dynamic - this story offers hope that you can make it through a friendship change or break-up.
