The Wish List by Eoin Colfer

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Wish List is the story of Meg Finn, a teenager who is left with an abusive stepfather after her mother dies. She has been a troublemaker, but then she falls in with Belch who gets her involved in a robbery attempt of an elderly man, Lowrie McCall. Things go wrong and Meg and Belch are killed in a gas explosion, but it is not the end for either of them. Meg has a chance to go back and right some wrongs in order to earn her way to heaven, and Belch is recruited to try to stop her. Meg finds herself helping Lowrie McCall complete his "wish list" of things he wants to do before he dies. Will she be able to help him and what will Belch do to stop her? This story was a very interesting afterlife adventure, probably more suited to middle school and older students.
