WISH

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS!

The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY)  Honour Awards Book for Disability - 2005

It's not just a wish . . . it's a megawish.

Seb's mum is unwell, and he believes there's only one way to make her better - he has to wish on one hundred aeroplanes as they fly overhead. But he lives on a remote farm so how will he find that many planes?
With the help of some friends along the way, he finds himself having the adventure of a lifetime. But can he and his new friend Jack really save his mum?

'Felice kept 150 boys captive while he discussed his books. He inspired them to use their experiences as a writing source, and emphasised the importance of research in making stories more authentic…a flawless performance!"

—Frances Eames, Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School - Book Week 2024

 

 

"We were thrilled to have Felice Arena join us. He engaged our students immediately, as well as providing a sneak peak of his new novel next year. We learnt lots about writing, illustrating and history. We hope to have him back next year! Thank you, Felice!"

"Brilliant, engaging, captivating and inspiring are just some of the ways I would describe Felice's sessions. His energy is infectious and its not just the students who enjoy themselves. Do yourself a favour and book Felice in at your school or library, you certainly won't be disappointed."

- Sharmaine Delgardo, Griffith City Library,

"Felice — I just wanted to thank you again for your presentation with the Prep – Year 2 students. They absolutely loved listening to you talk about your books and characters and also where you find inspiration. Thank you for your generosity, your spirit, your humour, and your understanding of what children love!” — B. Joseph, Grimwade House,
