Calling all readers who like fighting for their own rights! This book is about a girl from a poor family who sells matches for a living. But one day she is given three wishes, and from that day life for her and her family improves. I really recommend it!!! –  Sophie (aged 8 and 3/4), Rating 4/5

I think this book would be good for someone who is interested in history, especially the Victorian times. It was nice to see how much a little girl can speak up. With a little bit of magic and determination, this story was enchanting. I would REALLY recommend it. By: Ella (age 8). Rating: 4.5/5.
