Shannon’s Thoughts:
Marigold, aka Pixie, is a young elementary student with a love for books. After a bad day in school Pixie’s Mom takes her to the library where she discovers a book she has never come across. This surprises her because she has read almost everything there. This book is very special and it glows green. As she opens it she is introduced to some familiar characters but their stories seem jumbled and confused. Pixie must help the characters back into their own stories before they become blank pages.
Kids who are familiar with the classics like Alice In Wonderland, Cinderella, and Snow White will recognize some of the characters. Even if they have only watched some of the Disney movie versions they will realize that something is different about these stories. What I like is that author Coraline Grace has basically just let the story flow and not let the original stories confine what is happening. It is a story that kids can learn imagination can go anywhere and even change what been done before.
Reading this book as an adult with a little OCD was sometimes difficult though. Pixie starts to read about Cindy, Alice, and The White Rabbit together in a book arguing. Then Cindy tells some of her life stories. My adult brain cannot help but say “That’s not what happened”. But this is a book for children, not adults.
Pixie and The Green Book Mystery is a cute and creative book where imagination runs wild and free. It takes the bones of other stories and connects them in a way that children will remember years later.

Thank you for reading and reviewing Pixie And The Green Book Mystery. I'm glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the kind words. The second book in the series, The Purple Mystery is a swash-buckling blueberry pirate adventure. I’m happy to announce this will be released early Fall. And yes, the third book in the series is in the making. I’ll release what color mystery this one is soon. All I’m gonna say, it’s history in the making. History being the hint…
