## Description

You can't always get what you wish for. Or can you? Two siblings' family life is threatened by the dual misfortunes of their father's shock redundancy and Dad's inheritance of a dilapidated old house in Devon. But hope comes in the unlikeliest form! When cheeky die-hard Londoner Mia Fishlock (11) and her adorably violent little brother, Kaz, discover the decrepit washing machine in their spooky new home has magic power, granting wish after wish, they delightedly rename the washing machine the Wishing Machine! But, with magic power comes great responsibility. As does much screwball potential for the wishes to go horribly wrong. The Wishing Machineis a contemporary fairy-tale story set in the harsh real world, providing the young and the young at heart with a thoroughly modern and humorous twist on the traditional fairy-tale theme of Be Careful What You Wish For!"

Review: Funny and quirky family story - My 9 year old boy started reading this at his school "Children in Need" readathon and it clearly captivated his interest. He came home with tales of Kaz & Mia and said he found it very funny. He finished it, gave it the thumbs up and my 11-year old is now enjoying it.
Review: If you don’t like it, can just bum off! - I read this to my 8 year old boy. We laughed so much. Fun for young and old alike.
