A review by christygsp
The Orphan's Wish by Melanie Dickerson

3.5

A twist on Aladdin and Joseph from the bible. 
What would have happened if Aladdin had been taken from those Arabian nights and deposited into a European place? This book is a potential answer. 
Almost nothing the same as the actual Aladdin story, except his name and Abu’s name (though not a cute and mischievous monkey, but a little boy instead in this story). 
I liked it. Christian themes were nice throughout. Not what I expected when I hear the words “Aladdin retelling” though.
