A Wish Fulfilled: Accidental Time Machine

 

A project by students at my school.

Title: A Wish Fulfilled: Accidental Time Machine
Date: 2021
Publisher: Knowledge Sprout
Writer: Intisar Alkhatib, Carl Wasing
Artist: Kitty Li, Koki Kin, Airi Lyama, Annyka Ma, Seo-Jin Lee, Gyeonga Seo, Yewon Jeong, Maxon Jin
Editor: Kyle Gumangan

Introductory volume to this fantasy series by Knowledge Sprout, aimed at improving vocabulary for English language-learners while telling a fun story about a group of young friends send on an adventure through space and time.

Thirteen-year-old Amy Dickenson is worried that her friends have forgotten her birthday, but when her friends come through for her with a celebration on the beach, they unintentionally release an ancient magical power.

The story is mostly setup, but nicely establishes the characters before launching into the ending cliffhanger. The anime-flavored illustrations by the Knowledge Sprout art team are vibrant and fun.

Rating: 8.5/10
