Review:

Meg Finn has led a miserable life. First, her mum died, saddling her with a useless, nasty stepfather. Then, angry and alone, Meg found herself committing acts of petty crime with dim-witted hood Belch Brennan. Finally, just as she was about to go straight to honor her sainted mum s memory, Belch went and got them both killed as they attempted to rob crabby old Lowrie McCall. And if that wasn t bad enough, now St. Peter and Beelzebub can t decide which way Meg is supposed to go. She is one in a million: a soul perfectly balanced between good and evil. Now Meg s got to go back and somehow tip the scales UP--the further, the better! To earn her wings, Meg s been assigned to help the last person she tried to hurt (Lowrie McCall) who has a wish list of wrong choices that he wants to make right. But Beelzebub can t stand the thought of a bad soul going good. So he sends back the soul of powerfully stupid Belch, (who went straight down without stopping) to muck things up for Meg and Lowrie. But Meg s got smarts on her side and more than just a few tricks up her insubstantial sleeve...

At times, best-selling author Eoin Colfer s Wish List reads like a head-on collision between Dawson s Creek and Touched by an Angel. But rabid fans of the Artemis Fowl books won t notice or care. This black comedy is sure to make every fantasy-reading teen s Wish List. --Jennifer Hubert
