"The 5 Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride" by Joe Siple has definitely earned a spot on my faves shelf. It was sweet, moving and thought provoking. It tells the story of Murray--a 100 year old man--who helps Jason--a 10 year old heart patient--fulfill his 5 wishes. If you're looking for realistic and logical, then just pass this book on by. But if you are looking for something that will make you feel, grab it fast. It's on Kindle Unlimited so super easy to get.
Joe Siple also wrote a follow up entitled "The Final Wish of Mr. Murray McBride" and I can't decide if I like it as much as the first or better. It picks up with the life of Jason as an adult. Murray is woven throughout this story as well as an 11 year old girl named Alexandra.
There is something about the holidays that makes me want to read some fluff that will make me smile AND cry. These books both did that. Have you read them? If so, please let me know what you thought!
