A review by gen_wolfhailstorm
Four Children and It by Jacqueline Wilson

4.0

After really enjoying my week of reading books for the Wilsathon, I wanted to carry on, with a story I got from my library ebook service but didn't get to for that reading challenge.

Four Children and It is very much inspired by Five Children and It by E. Nesbit. I've never read that book or watched the movie, but I didn't find I needed to (though perhaps will do eventually) as Wilson gives you enough information, whilst simultaneously making it her own, with her characters and way of writing them.

This was so much fun. I really enjoyed reading the adventures the children got up to, involving their wishes, as well as seeing familial relationships grow and develop for the better. I don't think there was a massive moral to the story, but it was an enjoyable and satisfying read (although I do wish there were illustrations inside).

Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<
