YOU GOTTA READ HIS BOOK!!! I absoulutly LOVED it! I loved it so much, i read it in two days! It really got me hooked! A great combination of breath-taking adventure, WONDERFUL plotline, tragity, and young love. The end it very surprizing, but VERY good. But I don't want to give anything away, so instead, just GO AND BUY THIS BOOK!!! (note: it's more of a middle school-early high school book. It might not be AS great for an adult. It would only be great.)

This was definitely the kind of book that makes the reader think. In it, the main character, Morwenna, accidently inherits the last five wishes left over from the creation of the world. At first she is overjoyed, untill she realizes the rules: she can't wish for anything for herself, she can't tell anyone about the wishes, and if she uses up all five wishes she'll die. This gets especially complicated when she has to use up several of the wishes to save her friends. The ending came as a complete surprise, and I have to admit, it was more than a little disturbing. Did Morwenna learn anything? I guess that's for the reader to decide. I had expected something redeeming to happen and for everything to turn out all right for everyone but I was wrong. It was sort of like well, what was the point of the story? Well, despite this I liked it, and I would reccamend it to any fantasy fan.

I read Bright Shadow when I was 10 years old. After that I read it over twice. Then I started reading AVI books nonstop. I highly recommend this book. Morwenna is given five wishes by Pindel, the old wizard. Be prepared to have your mind in a trance as Morwenna discovers the truth about her new life and how she must use the five wishes as wisely as posible, or else...

I bought this book because I had read Midnight Magic, also by Avi. When I finished Bright Shadow, I relized what a good book this was. I thought the beggining was slow, but the end was great.

This is one follow up to Harry Potter that doesn't seem dry and stupid. It beautifly illistrates how lies and confusion can destroy a friendship, and has a suprise ending that leaves you thinking. Avi has come through again with a book that you just can't put down. It has a good moral, and is all in all a great read. I would reccomend this book to adults and children alike.
