About the author

Isabelle Merlin

The first stories Isabelle Merlin remembers are the traditional fairy tales told to her by her French grandmother. Later, she heard family stories, which proved to her that magic and romance and terror don't only appear in fairytales: like the romantic story of the beautiful ancestor who caught the eye of the Sun-King, Louis XIV; or the amazing story of the wily ancestor who went from being a poor peasant to a multi-millionaire; or the tragic story of the curse of madness and misfortune that pursued other ancestors; or the spooky story of the chain-rattling ghost that haunted the family home deep in the green countryside of France. It's no wonder that she grew up with a head full of stories and a burning desire to become a writer. Isabelle lives in Australia with her family. Isabelle is the author of four books: Three Wishes, Pop Princess, Cupid's Arrow and Bright Angel.

Praise for Three Wishes

Three Wishes is likely to attract the interest of many a teen girl. It's well-written, a captivating and absorbing story, and a fascinating blend of fairy tale and thriller, perfect for modern teens.

Tina Cavanough, Magpies

Warmly written with plenty of action, you may well not want to put this book down!

Reading Time

This is a wonderful pre-teen, teenage girls story. Some adults, like me, will enjoy it also. It is exciting and fast paced with a completely unexpected ending. Rose's blog spot and her friend's comments [are] a wonderfully interactive technology twist - and one ironically which will bring a young adult reader back to the paper trail. Buy it for your daughter but be warned - you will be fighting over who gets to read it first!

The Reading Stack

Three Wishes captures the ultimate desires of many young female teenagers - travel, money and romance with an adventure thrown in for good measure.
