For a kid who couldn't stop excitedly telling me what happened next to Avery and Nik, my 9-year-old's review is succinct. This is a kid who has struggled to find a fiction book (beyond beginner books) he enjoyed. Every other MG or chapter book before this, he'd abandon partway through, usually after just the first chapter.
Avery and Phantom caught his imagination, and he really identified with Avery's anxiety and her stage fright. He also thought her crush on Nik was cute, and hoped everything would turn out well for her in the end. (I love the casual sapphic rep, showing people just loving people.) Obviously, he loved Phantom the cat, and he's excited (for the first time!) to read more from the Wish series. He told me "I want to read more from this author!" which is not something I've ever heard from him before, so that's a priceless gift.
While we've immersed him in stories since he was born with nightly reading times, and a wide variety of tales, I'm so excited to see him take off on his own now. His reading skill is more than competent for his age, but his interest in reading on his own had lagged. I'm looking forward to watching his love of reading hopefully bloom, and so grateful that this book gave him that push to enjoy books on his own.
