By Camilla d’Errico & Joshua Dysart (Titan Books)
ISBN: 1-84576- 684-9
The concluding volume of the tale of Hana, a young girl who accepts five wishes from a demon to improve her life, picks up with the lonely child still waiting to become popular at school. The boy she likes now talks to her but the situation with her parents hasn’t really improved, and what happened to Mr Weston was horrible.
Her life isn’t really any better and now only one wish remains. And Avril Lavigne – or at least her imaginary analogue – still won’t talk to her. But then the demon’s machinations finally bear fruit, and as every instinct warned she gets what she wants only to eternally regret it.
Despite a seeming predictability this story still has surprises in store for the reader, and a terrific payoff for the comic aficionado prepared to give it a chance. And hopefully the celebrity connection will create a few new fans for the medium, especially when the work is as well produced as that of Camilla d’Errico and Joshua Dysart in this lovely little tome.
