The Well Wished by Franny Billingsley is a five star book. There were no illustrations in this book but I could imagine the pictures in my head because of the descriptions. In the town of Bishop Mayne, there is a magical and misterious wishing well with a mind of it's own. Everyone can make a wish, (one per person), but wishes usually go wrong.

"A coin for passage to your heart's desire," says Agnes, Guardian of the Wishing Well in the village of Bishop Mayne. "That is the first rule." But Nuria doesn't think she needs a wish. Wishing on the Well is dangerous. Wishes often go wrong. That's why there are no other children around. A wish-gone-wrong took them all away. But now, because her grandfather, the Avy, has wished for them to come back, Nuria is sure that the one thing she wants -- a friend her own age -- will soon be there.

"One wish each lifetime," says Agnes. "One cycle of the moon to repent and call it back. That is the second rule." Only a fool would make a wish that needs to be called back, Nuria thinks. But that's before she meets Catty Winter, who cannot walk, whose legs are mysteriously crippled. "Make a wish for me," Catty pleads. And Nuria is tempted. But what if the wish goes wrong?

"And for that cycle of the moon your lips are locked in this: To no one may you speak of your wish. To no one but to me, for your wish is my wish too. That is the third rule." Nuria has given little thought to the third rule. But there come moments when she wishes it did not exist. The Wishing Well, she is trickier than anyone has known.

The Wishing Well in Bishop Mayne has a mind of its own and creates problems for all who try to use its power. Few have gotten anything but misery from it. Knowing this, however, does not keep Nuria, in a time of dire need, from trying to accomplish what few others have managed.

Beauty and greed, warmth and cold, walk hand in hand in this unusual fantasy to create an adventure filled with friendship, challenge, and the magic of love.

I haven't read Heidi in years, but correct me if I'm wrong, she lived with her Grandfather on a mountain and had a best friend who was rich and in a wheel chair? it's a fun new perspective with a twist.

Have you ever read a really fabulous book about a normal girl who gets involved with a magical wishing well, has tons of adventures, and makes a new friend? If you have, super. Then read another one. If you haven't, then read Well Wished by Franny Billingsly. This book is about a girl named Nuria who lives with her grandfather, the Avy just outside a small village. In the village square there is a wishing well that grants everybody one wish per lifetime. This sounds fantastic, doesn't it? Wrong-o! The wishing well tries as hard as it possibly can to misread your wish; one word off and you're in trouble. There was this one man who wanted to be popular and well known, so he asked to be a pillar of society. He ended up a column in the town square. Nuria's grandfather always warns her not to make a wish, but she really wants a friend. (She doesn't have any friends because all the children in the town were wished away. She didn't get wished away because she lived outside of the town.) Anyway, Nuria's grandfather wishes for Nuria to have a friend and Catty Winter comes back. She and Nuria grow to be close friends. And then, Catty asks Nuria to do something incredibly important for her. To use her once-in-a-lifetime wish to make Catty have strong legs again. (Catty is in a wheelchair.) Nuria gives in, makes the wish and awful stuff starts to happen! This is an exceptional book, it has action, mystery, and humor all wrapped into one, and it even has a moral: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! You should read this book for several reasons. It's a really thrilling book because the main character gets into lots of adventures and you hang on the every last word trying to find out what's going to happen next. Also, the detail is so descriptive that it makes you feel like you've been pulled into the story and are watching everything up close. This is why you should read Well Wished. This book isn't perfect. There are some small flaws. Some people may say that this book is confusing, but if you don't skim and pay close attention you'll really enjoy reading it. Also, Well Wished is one of those books that every time you re-read you pick up something new. That's why it's so much fun to read again and again. You'll really enjoy reading this book. It's so thrilling and mysterious, so get off your computer and read it!

Well Wished is definitly one of my all time favs. It's about a young girl named Nuria, who lives in the mountains with the Avi, and her new friend, Catty. In the town of Bishop Mayne, there is a magical and misterious wishing well with a mind of it's own. Everyone can make a wish, (one per person), but wishes usually go wrong. Once, someone made a wish that made all the kids of the town go away. That is, all except Nuria, who is the only kid left in the townsurrounding area. This is where Catty comes in. She and her family move back to the town of Bishop Mayne, and she and Nuria become friends. Catty, however, has misteriously crippled legs and has to use a wheelchair. Nuria swears to make a wish to return Catty's legs to normal, but I won't ruin the story for you by telling you any more!!!!^^ This is a GREAT story with interesting charecters and, well, DIFFERENT settings. Every chapter unfolds more information and mystery, and will leave you breathless. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED (can't you tell??^^).

Energetic, quick-witted, and vibrant like her copper-colored hair, 11-year-old Nuria relishes life with her grandfather after years of isolation and scorn living with her aunt. Her grandfather's town has a real wishing well that grants each person one wish per lifetime. However, few use their wish because the well often tries to lure people into making bad wishes. Nuria longs for a friend, someone to play with, because the town's children have all disappeared. She knows that the children's disappearance probably means that someone's wish went awry. Nuria's grandfather uses his one wish to try to get the children back, and sure enough, Catty Winters, also 11, turns up back in town. Nuria's friendship with Catty leads to a foolish wish that lands Nuria in Catty's body, confined to Catty's wheelchair.

This book is quite the master piece for children or people of any age. The title, "Well Wished" gives a nice, yet mysterious description of this book. It makes the book attractive and also gives the reader a lot of suspense about the book. This book is basically about a well that (who) has "a mind of it's own". Most wishes made from that well brings a whole chain of wishes-gone-wrong. That is what Nuria found out when she wished for her friend, who lost her wish because she wished for something that vanished all children from her town. "One wish for a life time" the book quotes. My personal favorite about this story is of Agnes, the well's guardian. She sits there and announces the three rules of the Well. Living in complete sadness, she was freed when Miss D'Estuffier furiously ran to the Well and made a wish for more wishes, therfore she replaced Agnes.This book is a creative and enchanting book is well worth reading!
