The Orphan's Wish

In Melanie Dickerson's latest tale, The Orphan's Wish, you will meet Aladdin, a young boy whose home is in the Holy Land.  After his mother dies, Aladdin soon finds himself being transported by a kindly priest, from the only world he has ever known to Hagenheim, Germany, many, many miles away.  Aladdin, though considered a poor orphan, is soon befriended by Lady Kirstyn, the daughter of a wealthy family, in this new world that is slowly becoming his new home!

As you watch these two young people frolic as they explore the world around them, you will find that their idyllic life will soon change, when Aladdin decides that he must move on to find a way to improve his standing in the world!

When Aladdin encounters a wealthy man, who takes him under his wing to help him save and build-up his business, Aladdin thinks he has found a way to build his own personal wealth, as well.  When Aladdin learns that Kirstyn has been kidnapped, he moves his focus from gaining his own wealth to searching high and low for the whereabouts of his dear childhood friend!

This story is based on a well known fairy tale; however, in this re-telling, you will see Aladdin and Kirstyn learn to lean on and trust God to bring them through some difficult circumstances!


I received this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for my honest review.
