I liked The Wishing Game, but I liked The Lost Story even more. Shaffer has such a homey touch to her writing that really fits right in with her fairy tale writing. 

Loved the little reference to The Wishing Game.

I loved that it was inspired by Narnia, but I wish I picked up how it was related to Lord of the Flies! I mean, related if Jack wasn’t a totally unhinged kid. And also had a crush on Ralph. 

Really adored this story, made me cry near the end.
