My Thoughts
I so wish I had this book a few years ago! Back when I taught second grade, I would read chapter books to my class every day. Nilay's Wish is definitely one that they would have enjoyed!
The adventure, time travel, magical elements... my class would have loved this book! I know that I certainly enjoyed it. I am going to keep it around in case I ever teach second grade again. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is middle grade or who enjoys reading middle grade books!
*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
