It was really good. It was so suspensful. I just love the way the way the author writes. She did a great job. It was about a Violet Briggs who had a Halloween Goblin who was scaring everyone. I recommend this and all the Pixie Tricks' books.

This review is from: The Halloween Goblin (Pixie Tricks, No. 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

My kindergartner loves to read and especially adores stories about fairies. When I came across the Pixie Tricks books, I knew she would love them, and she does! The story in this book centers around a young girl named Violet who teams up with a fairy called Sprite to help send some pesky escaped fairies back to their own world. The chapters are relatively short which makes it a perfect story for young readers to build their reading confidence and also to entice reluctant readers into reading.
There are also colorful pixie stickers included here which can be placed in The Book of Pixie Tricks found in the first two books in the series, Sprite's Secret and The Greedy Gremlin. This activity booklet included at the back of the two books includes comprehension activities, spaces where children can place the stickers, and other interesting activities. This is an engaging series, perfect for young readers, Grades K-4.
