Mr. McBride's Five Wishes

A touching story about the saving magic of friendship and kindness.

Murray McBride, at the age of 100, has outlived almost everyone he loved.
10-year-old Jason is unlikely to live to see his first kiss.
But their meeting changes everything. Murray remembers what it’s like to be young, while Jason fights for the chance to grow old.
They have very little time to fulfill the boy's 5 cherished wishes and experience the power of true friendship.
But only one heart will continue to beat...

«This story is about how important it is, despite the fear and pain of loss, to be able to open one’s heart all the way, about the wisdom of being there when someone else needs you, and the strength we can share with each other. For this, you need absolutely nothing — just to learn to love.» — Anastasia Ryzhova, literary agent of «Snob»
