The Wishkeeper's Apprentice 

Rachel Chivers Khoo

Waterstones Says

This stunningly illustrated tale abounding in magic follows Felix whose apprenticeship has him fighting for the hopes and dreams of his community, as a vicious wishsnatcher tyrannises the town.

'Wanted! A wishkeeper's apprentice.'

When Felix makes a very special wish, he doesn't expect to be offered a job as an apprentice to wishkeeper Rupus Beewinkle. Now Felix must save the town's wishes from the wishsnatcher, who wants to destroy hopes and dreams everywhere.

Beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Rachel Sanson.
