Every time I closed my Nook to get some sleep, which pained me, I knew Val and Nick were still living somewhere out there in The Wishing Place.  That's how real Ms. Haig's world becomes in this book. The draw is instantaneous when you start with an 8 year old, who has an amazing imagination, and a room where you can have anything you ask for or think about. But of all the things a child could ask for, Valerie asks to see something special, which is ingenious.  That it's a young boy named Nicholas is even more intriguing.  So throughout the book you learn why Nick, as Valerie calls him, is so special to her and how love blossoms, grows, and develops over the span of their early lives.  All those shared moments, the wishes and thoughts of silly children that make you laugh, the sorrows and times of separation that break your heart, those are the moments that will bring me back to Mindy's sequel The White Room (which has not been published yet!).  I have truly enjoyed EVERY book I have read by Ms. Haig...I will keep coming back for more and would highly, highly recommend anything written by her!***free copy given in exchange for an honest review***
