A review by michellehenriereads
Carnival Quest by Brandon Mull

5.0

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Shadow Mountain in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own.

Genre: Fantasy
Age: Middle Grade
Violence: Low (similar to the rest of the story)

I love how we have some of our favorite character from earlier in the season. There's also Zac, a newcomer, and social media influences which makes the entire series feel brand new. It's also wonderful how the kids are thrust into the problems and must solve the problems.

And there's a real problem! Kids are disappearing! This is great with puzzlers for kids and adults. I love it when books have an element of mystery.

A carnival is a perfect place for this novel to take place. Aren't carnivals, clowns, and game hucksters all inherently creepy?

This author earned my trust years ago, and I know I'm in safe hands for a fun experience. The Candy Shop Wars has remained one of my favorites for this age group.

So, don't accept any candy from strangers. And go read this book instead.

Happy reading!
