Reviewers from Readers' Favorite have started to weigh-in:"I loved The Wish Thief. Loved. It."
"Verhoff has done a fantastic job in creating characters that her readers will relate to and care about, as well as think about long after the story is done.
"Glory is thirteen and lives on the planet Tullah, which resembles Earth. She comes from a rough family, a family that is dealt a tough hand and doesn't know exactly how to deal with all of the hard knocks they've experienced."
"Adventure, emotion, love, hate and more are all part of this excellently written book. The Wish Thief is a voyage of discovery for not only the main character, Glory, but the other beings as well."
"All I can say WOW! I especially like the bonus material and explanations of the symbolism and religious connections for those who may want to explore that avenue."
"This is truly a book for readers of all ages; it grips you from page one and stays with you long after the last words."
"Characterization is solid and has depth. Protagonist Glory Alley is a girl who determines to set everything right in her life. Her mean father is a drunkard and she doesn’t get along with her siblings, except for sweet little George. Readers will root for Glory every step of the way . . . "
"Verhoff’s narrative is clear and has a good flow from start to finish."
"The plot may center on a gloomy family drama, but it’s balanced out with adventure and wit. I found the ending bittersweet but satisfying. On the whole, this is a great read for YA readers with some valuable life lessons that everyone can appreciate."
"Her abilities in world-creation are second to none."
