Edward becomes the assistant to a new magician who just moved into a cottage outside of the village. But Moongobble is not a very good magician. He is still learning magic and hoping to be admitted into the exclusive magician's guild. He has to complete several quests in order to prove his worth to the other magicians, and Edward is coming along to help!
I love the imaginative plot and delightful fairy-tale characters. The story is simple, but meaningful and full of fun! I like how each book in the series builds on each other as we meet more characters and visit more enchanted places in this fantasy world. These books are really funny too! The characters are sassy with some great dialogue and fun jokes.
The magic is very innocent, and the stories are never too scary. I love how almost every villain they encounter throughout the series turns out to be a misunderstood monster or a cursed person who needs help. They go questing around doing good for others and solving magical mysteries.
I think it's very sweet how Edward and Moongobble establish a trust right away. Although Moongobble is the adult and Edward is a child, it is often Edward who takes care of and protects Moongobble. But Moongobble is also very protective over Edward, so between the two of them, they come safely through all their adventures.
The writing is simple enough for a first-grader to read, but enjoyable enough for an adult to read. I loved this fun series!

Cute book... I haven't read the first two (oops) but didn't feel lost. Enjoyed the book and appreciated the emphasis on good character traits. Clean, fine for young readers.

Another in the "Moongobble and Me" series with good, wholesome themes: holding onto happiness in the face of evil and being kind to others even when others are less than kind to you. My boys are loving these books. They are short little volumes and we can get through them pretty fast, which is a plus with our sporadic reading.
