When fifteen-year-old Esme Silver objects at her father’s wedding, her protest is dismissed as the actions of a stubborn, selfish teenager. Everyone else has accepted the loss of Esme’s mother – so why can’t she?But Esme is suspicious. She is sure that others are covering up the real reason for her mother’s disappearance – that ‘lost at sea’ is code for something more terrible, something she has a right to know.After Esme is accidentally swept into the enchanted world of Aeolia, the truth begins to unfold. With her newfound friends, Daniel and Lillian, Esme retraces her mother’s steps in the glittering canal city of Esperance, untangling the threads of Ariane’s double life. But the more Esme discovers about Ariane, the more she questions whether she really knew her at all.

Praise for Esme’s Wish
Praise for Esme’s Wish ‘This is a tale that is utterly enchanting and totally consuming.’ Amie’s Book Reviews ‘When I was younger, my bookshelf was filled with books like Deltora Quest, Rowan of Rin, Warriors and other such tales. Now, Esme’s Wish joins that line up of absolutely perfect books for a teenager to read … [With] a dash of mystery, dragons and magic … we have ourselves a fantastical tale ready for any age reader.’ The YA Drama Llama ‘… A delightful fantasy … Esme’s Wish is the perfect middle-grade to young-adult crossover novel …’ Madison’s Library ‘If you have a heart for mythology and folk lore, you might just love this one too. The story is a gentle cross between Madeleine L’Engle and Rick Riordan …’ Compass Book Ratings ‘… a great mystery that will keep you wanting to read the novel straight through to the end. It’s fun without being frivolous. It deals with some heavy emotions without drowning you completely. And it breaks the cookie cutter mould that many YA novels seem to find themselves in.’ Literative ‘Superbly written fantasy adventure by a talented debut author … The world-building was a treat, and the prose flows like water. Lovely!’ Jessica Lim, Author ‘This is a story about family, self-acceptance, and the immense measures one would take for the people they love … For fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter. 5 Stars: Highly recommended.’ Underground Book Reviews ‘I loved Esme’s determination and I loved the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter. Esme’s Wish overflows with creativity, imagination, and originality.’ Kait’s Bookshelf ‘Esme’s Wish is the book I wish I had as a teen. Not only is it enchanting, it harnesses the essence of magic, love and friendship. As an excellent high Middle Grade novel, it’ll spark joy in your heart.’ The Literary Casanova ‘Elizabeth Foster serenades us with the smoothest and silkiest of poetic language that casts you back to the classic writers of old …’ Just Write For Kids
