The Orphan's Wish by Melanie Dickerson
4.0
Story Enjoyment Rating: 7/10 Christian Faith Rating: 3/3
Orphan’s Wish by Melanie Dickerson is a Christian young adult medieval romance inspired by the characters in Aladdin.
This book follows the orphan Aladdin who is rescued from a life as a thief by a priest. He is taken to Hagenheim, where he meets Lady Kirstyn, the daughter of the Duke. They become great friends and grow up together. Aladdin always tries to protect Kirstyn until one day he can’t. He is also determined to prove his worth and make his fortune.
Some characters are named after and resemble characters in the Disney film Aladdin. However, I didn’t find many similarities in the plot. I enjoyed large chunks of the plot. But I found it a bit disjointed, and the ending was quite haphazard.
It wasn’t my favourite book in this series, but I still enjoyed it.
There was Christian content throughout this story. God was working in their lives and the lives of the people around them.
