Convincing Robin Hood to come home with her, Annika has many adventures including a bet.
Opinion:
I thought the Just One Wish was a very good book. In the beginning, I thought that the events happened a bit too fast, but then it slowed down to the right speed for most readers. I liked how there was romance, comedy, and, unfortunately, death. I really liked how brave Annika was and how much she was willing to risk for Jeremy. Additionally, I thought it was interesting to see how both Steve, the actor who plays Robin Hood, and Annika changed throughout the book. All in all, this book was filled with compassion that many readers will relate to.
