Overview

For kids who love stories with plenty of pictures but are ready for a bigger challenge, this illustrated chapter book is the perfect fit. A magical story of friendship, courage, and self-discovery. In the forests of Weyburn, there had always been a Wishweaver-a spider with the magic to grant wishes. However, for many years now, wishes have gone unanswered. But why? That is the question an orb spider named Whimsy is determined to answer. With the help of her milkweed wisp friend, Flit, Whimsy will go on a journey to the old Wishweaver Oak in search of clues to solve the mystery. But the answers she seeks are buried deep in Weyburn's past and Whimsy will have to face her deepest fears if she is to change their wish-less future. Want to Know More?
