In Wishes And Wellingtons, did you enjoy ...

... a clear, driving quest or mission?

The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

If you loved following Maeve as she unraveled the genie’s secret and set out to use her wishes, you’ll be enchanted by The Girl Who Drank the Moon. Luna’s journey—discovering her magical origins and seeking her place in a world full of secrets—delivers that same sense of urgent, purposeful adventure. Both stories blend magic, mischief, and a determined protagonist on a mission you’ll root for until the end.

... a cast of quirky, memorable characters?

The Mysterious Howling by Maryrose Wood

If the lively dynamic between Maeve, her friends, and the genie captured your heart, you’ll adore The Mysterious Howling. The incorrigible children, their resourceful governess Miss Penelope Lumley, and a parade of eccentric personalities create an ensemble that’s just as delightful and unpredictable. The banter and teamwork bring the same spirited energy you enjoyed in Wishes And Wellingtons.

... humor, wit, and clever dialogue?

The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex

If Maeve’s sharp wit and the story’s playful humor were highlights for you, then The True Meaning of Smekday will have you laughing out loud. Tip and her alien companion J.Lo embark on a wild adventure full of snappy dialogue, hilarious situations, and tongue-in-cheek narration. It’s a perfect pick for anyone who loves magical hijinks with a clever comedic twist.

... watching a young protagonist grow and mature?

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

If it was Maeve’s personal growth—her courage, cleverness, and the way she changes through her magical misadventures—that drew you in, then The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is a must-read. Follow Callie Vee’s journey as she challenges expectations, discovers her strengths, and finds her voice. Both books deliver heartfelt, transformative coming-of-age stories set in historical times.

... whimsical, lighthearted magic?

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

If the playful, unpredictable magic of the genie delighted you, you’ll be swept away by Howl’s Moving Castle. The enchanting world, magical mishaps, and delightful surprises—like Sophie’s unexpected curse and Howl’s antics—capture the same sense of wonder and whimsy. It’s a magical romp where the rules are as surprising as the characters themselves.
