Cute and wholesome fantasy adventure story. Fast paced with great art.

I loved Griblet as a character and am looking forward to the sequel!

I like that the ending felt satisfying even though it’s clear they have options for continuation.

This was really stinking cute! The art style was gorgeous, and there was just enough peril for you to feel that there are actual stakes, while keeping it appropriate for a middle grade audience. Avery is a great character, and Gribblet is adorable!
Themes of family, self-discovery, finding your place and fitting in.

Thanks to #NetGalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

A really good first instalment of what is going to be a great series. Our main character is a girl, not quite human not quite magic, she is a Wishborn. Going between the genie realm and the human realm she looks for her mother who has been kept in a cave for performing a wish that was forbidden. My favourite character has to be Gribblet, what I wouldn’t give to be on an Avery and Gribblet adventure! Such a sweet story with a lot of heart and the illustrations are stunning as well.

I wish we had a little bit more character development but I’m so excited to see what comes next.

Thank you NetGalley and TopShelfProductions for the ARC.

I received an electronic copy from IDW Publishing through NetGalley.
The artwork is stunning and provides the overall picture and background. The story itself is simple and written for elementary level readers. Avery lives with her dad in a quiet area beside the gas station he runs. When she finds a dusty old lantern, she rubs it and a Herald pops out. She learns the truth about her past and sets off to rescue her mom. She discovers she can travel through the lamp as she is part genie. Some of the plot points feel disconnected but the overall story is a sweet one about family love.

This book for children was an amazing light hearted read and may have helped me out of my reading slump! Perfect for children wanting to learn English!

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. The premise was very fun. I liked the idea of a genie falling in love with a human. I really enjoyed getting to see the world. The magic is fun. The art was really great.

Avery lives with her Dad, miles from anywhere. She's lonely and has never known her mum, but when she finds an old lamp, she finds a chance to get her mum back!
A lovely story with wonderful illustrations. Lots of cool characters and amazing places.

Great middle grade story with relatable discussion points around missing people and wishing them there. I loved the comic illustrations, I really enjoyed this one! It’s also fab to find a middle grade graphic novel that isn’t wimpy kid or Dogman! Will recommend:)

I enjoyed this graphic novel of an adventure to rescue a parent. I haven’t seen an idea like this and I really liked the illustrations. I audibly ooed when the Amber prison was shown. I thought that was a cool concept. The Arbiters were very spooky. I also liked the concept art at the back; I’m always a big fan of seeing the process.

I bloody love a graphic novel, and this was great! Avery lives in the middle of nowhere and when she finds a magic lamp it takes her to places she’s never been, meets people she’s never met and saves someone she loves greatly. This was loads of fun! I can’t wait to read the next one now!! Definitely one I’ll try and pick up for my classroom!

Avery and her Dad live at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. She was told that her Mom died when she was a baby. Then, she finds an old gas lamp, and, when she wipes a bit of dust off of it a cute little not-a-kitten named Gribblet appears. Gribblet is not a genie, but, a genie used to be his boss. Actually, a very specific genie used to be his boss. Avery's mom. That means that Avery is half genie too, and so, she and Gribblet go into the lamp and they try to save Avery's Mom. But, there are some hiccups, like Gribblet's new boss, the genie Vulgarian.Can Avery and Gribblet save those Avery's closest to?

One of the very interesting parts of this graphic novel was at the end, after the story ended. The author/artist goes through some of the process that he went through to write/draw this comic, and, it was really interesting to read about, because, the final result on the page just hit exactly right. From who Avery was, to Gribblet (especially Gribblet, definitely my favorite character), to all the relationships between the characters. Can't wait to read the second book in this series.

Cute story of where you come from but with magical fun thrown in. I enjoyed the characters and the exploration of the genie world. Really cool artwork too.

This was a very intreasting and i loved the meaning behind this book especially the finding his mother and the arc of this book was unreal it has so many twists and turns. I cant wait to read book 2 so super excited.

"You Wish" is a graphic novel that follows the adventures of a young girl named Avery and her new friend, Gribblet the Herald (who's not quite a genie). Together, they embark on an adventure where Avery learns a lot about herself. The story is a quick read, making it perfect for children, and the art style is incredibly charming, with Gribblet being especially adorable.

The graphic novel combines a cute art style with a magical, quick-paced adventure. While it touches on themes like loneliness and family, the main appeal lies in its engaging visuals and the enchanting journey. Additionally, I really appreciated the sketches at the end, where the author showcases some of his developmental progress. It's a delightful read for children, blending cute illustrations with a fun story.

Absolutely adorable. Great art, a quick compelling read, realistic dialogue, and relatable characters. This is a unique take on a genie story, told from the inside out. It had me smiling and giggling. I'm already eager for more.

A very charming read, sweet and heartfelt. I dig the artwork and you’ve got some solid character design. Especially the Arbiters, super cool. I read this with my kiddos and we all had a good time. Thank you for the opportunity.

wow, the art is so beautiful. and the story is cute, a little predictable but it's for children or middle grade I guess so it's ok. and I think I would love to check part 2 and see what will happen.

Avery and her dad run a gas station out in the middle of nowhere. She learns magic tricks just to keep herself sane. One day while her dad goes to run an errand, she wanders into the shed and finds an old timey mining lamp. Avery rubs the lamp to clean off the grime and finds she gets much more than she bargained for, Gribblet, a herald for genies.
This one was super cute. I would recommend it for elementary students and middle schoolers. I can’t wait for more adventures involving, Avery and Gribblet.

This story was so inventive! It felt like a pretty original idea, having someone be the child of a genie and a human is something I'd never heard of before. I really enjoyed it!

I enjoyed Avery and Gribblet’s story so much. I wasn’t fully sure what I was getting into but I cannot wait to share this story with my son.

The book starts out with Avery living a very lonely life in the middle of nowhere where with just her Dad when she stumbles upon an old lamp in the shed at their gas station. From the lamp pops out Gribblet who helps Avery discover the truth about herself and the meaning of what family is.

Not only was the story amazing but the art work really brought it all to life. This is geared more towards middle school age, so if you have a child that age that is looking for an adventure this is the book to get them.
