Zappa, Shana and Zappa, Ahmet Clovers Parent Fix (Star Darlings
#11), 142 pages. Disney,
2016. $7. Language: G (o swears); Mature Content: G;
Violence: G.
Things aren’t going well in Wishworld. Their wish energy is
low, which is what powers everything. Lady Cordial has taken over the school,
someone whom the Star Darlings have trusted, but she seems completely wrong for
the job. The girls know that they alone can collect more energy from the human
world –but they are ignored. Then Clover gets her chance to head to earth and
find her wisher, but will that energy be enough?
Book 11 in a series wouldn’t see the light of day at my
school, usually students only read one or two before finding another interest,
so I probably wouldn’t add it to my library for just that reason. This also
wasn’t my favorite in the series –the girls are all worried about the energy
crisis –but still go out of their way to utilize the remaining energy –like throwing
a circus party. There are some fun plot lines and characters. Obviously fans
will want this book –so if you have some, add this to your collection. Best
ages would be 3-4th grade, but I only have 2nd graders
ever interested and it’s a bit too challenging for them.
