The Wishkeeper's Apprentice

The Wishkeeper's Apprentice introduces readers to Felix, a ten-year-old boy whose ordinary life takes a magical turn when he meets Mr. Beewinkle, a Wishkeeper in need of an apprentice. This charming chapter book explores themes of hope, courage, and the power of kindness as Felix learns the ropes of wish-granting. However, a mysterious wolf-man, previously only in Felix's dreams, emerges as a real threat, endangering all wishes and the town's magic. Parents will appreciate the heartwarming story about finding purpose and overcoming fears, perfect for children aged 4-11, whether read aloud or independently.

Wishes do come true--with some help from Felix and his quirky mentor, Mr. Beewinkle--in this magical adventure brimming with the power of hope. When ten-year-old Felix drops a penny in the wishing fountain at the center of town, he really doesn't expect his sixteen-year-old sister to suddenly like him again, or to offer to share a cinnamon bun or watch cartoons like they used to. She hasn't even remembered she was supposed to give him a ride home! But someone else is at the fountain too: a strange old man with a fishing pole who claims to be invisible. To Felix's amazement, he learns that the old man is a Wishkeeper, and he needs an apprentice! But being a Wishkeeper's apprentice isn't just about organizing incoming wishes and untangling wish snags: a strange wolf-man who's been haunting Felix's dreams is real and a threat to every wish that has ever been granted in the town of Whittlestone, the town's Wishkeeper, and Felix himself. With lively illustrations, this sweet adventure bubbles with charm and heart.
