Wishes & Wellingtons

Audible Originals are all over my website this year! I've never receive so many freebies in my life, but I will not complain. Today's review is the children's story, Wishes & Wellingtons, by Julie Berry. #element-f62a187b-4623-426a-80e2-f6c569e89388 .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;}
Had it not been for the fact it was free, I probably wouldn't have purchased this one. Not because it's uninteresting, because it was cute. No, it's something about the cover. I don't like it, but Wishes & Wellingtons is pretty good. It's English and set in the 1800's and very funny. A girl named Maeve attends a school for girls and she hates it. Desiring adventure and freedom, she's constantly in trouble. She's combative, snarky and even a bit intelligent, but she doesn't know how to use what she has. So she's always in trouble and enduring some form of creative punishment. When an incident penalizes her by sorting rubbish, she comes across a sardine tin. Inside... a djinni! (Genie).
Wishes & Wellingtons is an adorable story, but I have to admit my disliking for Maeve. This girl landed herself in it so many times, and not once did she use common sense! For goodness sakes- she had a freaking djinni and allowed three wishes! Not one of those wishes were used for anything substantial. Then she knew there were rules to being the master of such a magical treasure yet, she managed to lose it several times and never told the truth! I grew weary of the girl.
Tom and her roommate, turned best friend, Alice were more likable and actually matured within the story. They're changes were admirable and even enjoyable, but Maeve remained the same. She literally got out the of the book's situations with the same attitude and disposition. That was rather disappointing.
Even so, I liked it and would refer others to listen. It's another Audible Original I received free with my membership, but its available through both Audible and Amazon (One Entity). Check it out while I move on to the next read. Cheers!
