This is book 7 in the Magical Animal Friends series, modeled after the popular Rainbow Fairies books (same formula, two girls encounter a magic being that introduces them to a very "fluffy" version of a magical battle between good and bad). This book is my 9 yo daughter's LEAST favorite so far of the first 8. My 7 yo enjoys reading these series as well, but she has not read this one yet. My 9 yo reads at an 8th grade level and reads these books in ~20 mins, my 7 yo reads more at 3rd grade level and usually reads them over the course of two evenings at bedtime.Parent Rundown:+ It is not necessary to read the books in order to enjoy this one, so if you have a young girl who likes foxes, she can enjoy this story.+ This is a beginning chapter book designed for budding readers, but can be enjoyed by girls through mid-elementary grades.+ No potty humor.+ This book actually teaches a little bit about foxes / nocturnal animals, which is more than some of the other books have from an educational stand point!+ Books contain magic and fantasy as well as an evil witch, Grizelda. My 9yo comments that Grizelda never really does anything which eventually makes for anticlimactic reading.+ Plot summary: The Fuzzybrush Fox family sees something strange in the sky in Friendship Forest just as the sun sets. This book features the third dragon sent by Grizelda the Witch since the introduction of the dragons in book 5. Smudge the dragon blocks the starlight from the sky, causing the leaves to fall from the Friendship Tree, which would prevent our two heroines from visiting Friendship Forest anymore.+ No animals are actually injured, but the Fuzzybrush Fox Family is turned to shadows. Grizelda makes a brief appearance. The plot is resolved when the two heroines along with Ruby fox perform a dance and get Smudge to join in and reverse his naughty doings. It's a little ludicrous, but Smudge ends up as a friend.+ This book ends with a cliffhanger for the finale in Book 8. So though your child doesn't have to read book 5 or 6, they will probably want to read book 8 pretty badly.+ If your child is afraid of the dark, your child may not like this book as much. There's a lot of tripping around in the dark / animals being turned to shadows before the silly resolution.+ Neat page or two of picture puzzles in the back.+ Expect the content to be a tad vapid, as the Rainbow Fairies certainly were, but these books encourage children to read more when they need a mental break from school work.
