his head, and literally sees stars…

i would love to wish for anything and get it

I liked this book because it was based on football which I like. It had happy and sad moments which makes a good story.

I would recommend this book to many as it is about getting through hard times and also about friendship.

It was a very inspirational and good book overall.

the main character, Archie, is my favorite character in this story as his favourite character, Lucas Bailey, grants him nine wishes. I would recommend this story to children who like to laugh a lot.

It repeated quite a lot of things in the book which was a little but annoying but still a good read.

I learnt a lot from this book although it took me a long time to read.

Archie is a little boy that needs to find out who he is is. Going throughout lots of changes he finally finds his happiness

This wonderful book taught me a lot of things and I liked it, although it took me a long time to read.

There was too many sad parts in this story.

It was great. If you like football I would recommend this book for you. Also if your lucky number is nine read it now! I loved all the wishes and how some of them backfired.

This book is about someone called Archie.

This book is above expectation I love it

I love It

This book is about a boy called Archie who thought he was rubbish at things but then when he was riding a bike ,he imagined he came to space and then he saw his fav football player in front him who grants him 9 wishes. He used 8 wishes but I did not know what he will do with the 9th one. Archie had a football show but his mother always stayed in bed and was getting better. She could not come to Archie's football match but Scadge and his dad came to the match. I liked the character Scadge, Julie and Mouse.

Very entertaining and made me laugh a lot. Loved it .

Cool

I found this book interesting because the wishes were for ordinary things like an ice cream van and the largest football sticker collection, rather than magical or unusual things that are not possible to get. I found it interesting that the boy believed his friend Mouse when he said the wishes would come true, as wishes don't necessarily come true. Mouse was my favourite character in the book because he helped the boy save his mum.

It was good but I eventually got bored of it

One of the best books I've ever read because it is so hard to grab you into a book and it was so strange at the start but then it was great at the end. πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
