With its "Rainbow Magic" series, the publisher seeks to tap into current
fascination with make believe fairies. This "special edition" series Halloween kids book has
particular appeal, focusing as it does on the fun, intriguing holiday of
Halloween. Rachel and Kirsty are looking forward to trick-or-treating
as fairies, but their plans are quickly disrupted 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 kids book seems to be Trixie's Fairyland kitten Moonlight. Still,
fairy-mad readers are likely to enjoy this Halloween kids book, and the low cost might
justify its purchase as an appealing holiday-specific option for middle
readers. This Halloween kids book is for kids reading levels ages 9-12. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other kids books you would like to have reviewed. Share this post with your family and friends. Remember to always praise your child.
