この二人の少女には、生活にも風貌にも性格にも共通点はありません。
でも、不思議。。。二人はだんだん仲良くなり、そして、ある日、お腹を空かした犬を助けようと相談します。
犬を助けたら、実は、大好きな門番のおじいさんを助けることにもなります。
もともと冒険好きではなかった少女が、決然と自転車に乗って行動を開始するシーンは圧巻です。
勇気がもともとあったわけじゃない。
正義感がもともとあったわけじゃない。
そういうものはあとから、ついてくるんですね。
まずは、仲良しの門番のおじいちゃんの笑顔が見たかった。それだけでした。
そういう冒険の理由っていいと思います。

Sweet, insightful book for readers at all levels
Reviewed in the United States on 4 November 2018Verified Purchase
Wish by Barabara O'Connor was one of my favorite reads last year, and so I was very excited for her new novel. It did not disappoint. I loved the chapters written from Henry the dog's point of view. I loved the difference between the two main characters, Mavis and Rose, and how the story was told through both of their perspectives. This is a sweet story about unlikely friendships, finding the courage to stand up for yourself, and what it means to be a friend. As a reading intervention teacher, I love that this story is written simply enough for all of my readers to enjoy, but yet touches on deep, complex human issues. This story can reach readers of all abilities and ages- perfect for any library shelf. #LitReviewCrew

Making Friends
Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2019Verified Purchase
Something I’ve noticed about favorite writers is that I think they’re writing about me. Maybe not today’s me, or even yesterday’s me, but me someday. That’s what Barbara O’Connor does in Wonderland: The Novel. I found myself in all her main characters (yes, even the dog’s.) Poor little rich girl Rose is in need of a friend. Gypsy girl Mavis, whose mom just can’t find the right job, or man, or life, is never in a place long enough for her to make a friend. There’s Mr Duffy, who is not only mourning his wife but also his dog, and the runway greyhound Henry who only wants a true home. That’s all you need to know. If you’re like me, you won’t put the book down until you find out what happens to these star crossed friends.

Fun Summer Adventure Novel
Reviewed in the United States on 9 August 2020Verified Purchase
Mavis is always moving houses, towns, & schools following her mother's next “big” job. It’s not until Mavis lands in Magnolia Estates that she is determined to finally have a permanent home with a real best friend. Mavis is loud, fun, & spontaneous and when she meets Her soon to be best friend she realizes she is completely the opposite. Rose is timid and mild mannered and her best friend is the neighborhood gate keeper, Mr. Duffy. Mr. Duffy hasn’t been himself ever since his dog passed away, so Mavis and Rose set out to cheer Mr. Duffy up.
This was the first Barbara O'Connor book I’ve read and I really enjoyed it! Wish has been on my TBR forever, but it got bypassed when I picked this up for @booksamillion Kids Bookclub. This is such a simple but fierce book about friendship & I would highly suggest this to any kid.
