Trixie The Halloween Fairy

With this "Rainbow Magic" series, the author seeks to tap into current fascination with fairies. This "special edition" series book has particular appeal, focusing as it does on the fun, exciting holiday of Halloween. Rachel and Kirsty are looking ahead to trick-or-treating as fairies, but their plans are quickly interrupted by the mean spirited antics of Jack Frost. Frost had his goblins steal three magical pieces of Halloween candy from Trixie, the Halloween Fairy. Fortunately, they lost the candy in the process; at least they do not have it! Unfortunately, unless Trixie can find the candies and return them to Fairyland before Frost's minions find them, Halloween will be ruined! That is where Rachel and Kirsty come in. Trixie needs the girls' help to find the chocolate bar, candy corn, and caramel apple. The pacing of this Halloween kids book is slow and the action is surprisingly passive. The true hero of the book seems to be Trixie's Fairyland kitten Moonlight. Still, fairy loving readers are likely to enjoy this book, and the low cost might justify its purchase as an appealing holidayspecific option for middle readers. This Halloween children's book is for reading levels ages 9-12. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other books you would like to have reviewed.
