The Birthday Wish

By Hilary Mckay About · Illustrated by David Melling About

“There was a brief scattering of sparks across the chocolate icing and Simon almost missed his birthday wish. Just in time he caught it back, and knew at once exactly what it ought to be.”

Pudding Bag School was an ordinary kind of school, and Simon Percy was an ordinary kind of boy who hated school. Until the arrival of the magical and mysterious Miss Gilhoolie…

Ever since Simon’s parents disappeared in a hot air balloon when he was six weeks old, he’s been making birthday wishes. Now perhaps at least one of his wishes can come true…
