Why I love this book:
This book is part of the new Branches division of Scholastic, which focuses on early chapter books. I have found the books a bit formulaic but still appealing, and this book fits that bill. The story and girl camaraderie are quite predictable, but if you have a daughter who likes to read about friendship, sparkles and cute animals, then this one will not disappoint.

Who this book is for:
With very prepossessing visuals on every page, this book is great for girls just starting chapter books. Since the ending is quite inevitable, these books are good for kids working on their ability to predict the story line.

Final thoughts:
This is one I would have loved as girl - full of beautiful, shimmering fun.
