Esme's Wish | 
pickHave you ever wished for something lost to be found?
Esme is a young girl, full of unwavering hope, who has continued to wish for the same thing: that her mother, Ariane, lost at sea many years ago, is still alive and will return home. Long after everyone else has given up, Esme still believes that her mother‘s return is possible...

I‘m going on to ‘Esme‘s Wish‘, received through LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Though it‘s YA fantasy, it starts off with a perfectly normal (well, almost) wedding in a church. The premise (one chapter in) is reminiscent of Sarah Zettel‘s ‘A Sorceror‘s Treason‘; a daughter of a lighthouse keeper, a mysterious mother lost to the water.
Published in 2017 but set in 1988
pickThis is an engaging adventure suitable for young adults, and it is age-appropriate for a younger reader. The bonds of friendship Esme forms are refreshing to read as romance does not enter the picture. I always say there is so much more to stories than romance. It is just as important for young readers to learn how to form friendships. #fantasy #youngadult

E is for Esme‘s Wish, which I adored!
For me, Esme‘s feelings and the small indignities that come of being in a blended family were all too real!
The sequel is finally available for preorder! YASSSSS!
pickThe world of Aeolia is so, so beautiful. The vibrant colors and descriptions, the magic and mystery, and the creatures are all so enticing. This world encouraged my imagination to soar into the sky with the colorful and powerful dragons, just before delving deep into the waters with sirens, if the rays and ghosts didn‘t get me first 😉

Esme, who's mum has disappeared and even though everyone else has stopped looking for her, will not give up hope of finding her. Targeted to younger teens this book has DRAGONS yay, and other magic and adventure. Book 2 is being written for release by the end of the year.
