“In my books, I try to teach kids that you sometimes must take risks to do what’s right… whether that’s fighting the most feared beast in the world, battling three warrior sisters, or simply telling the truth so you don’t have to get in even bigger trouble. ”
Ava Milukas was featured in the Newport Daily News for The Revengers! And The Case Of The Golden Underpants. Proceeds from the book go to the Malala Fund.
ABC 6 NEWS STORY - A Wish Come True and all the Volunteers Helping

Every kid dreams of having a play house. It’s a space where they can let their imagination run wild. Ava Milukas, 8, of Tiverton is helping to create such a retreat for seriously ill children.
“She's a happy healthy kid giving back to her peers. I think it's even more important to do that,” said Tom McGovern, Executive Director of ‘A Wish Come True’.
Ava is working on the project with the charity. Several playhouses are being built. Two of them will be donated to 'Wish' children in the spring, but not the one Ava is designing, called "Ava's Writing Retreat". Instead, hers will be raffled off at summer 2016 events. The money raised from the sale of the playhouse will then go back to ‘A Wish Come True’ helping to grant more wishes for more kids.
On Tuesday, Oct. 20, Ava met with the builders to help get the creative juices flowing. Ava came ready with plenty of ideas, so naturally they had a lot to discuss.
“Like what the colors should be. What the inside should look like. How the door should be and how the windows are designed,” Ava explained.
The project is being organized by students from Bryant University. A class at Davies Career and Technical School in Lincoln will bring Ava's dream play house to life.
“It's amazing that I’m a part of something is actually going to somebody sick or somebody in need,” said Davies student Jonathan Chase.
In an effort to jump start the fundraising efforts Ava donated $710 to the charity. She raised the money this summer by selling copies of her book: 'Ava's Guide to Having a Perfect Life.'
