Still, instead of saying no, Isadora took the dragon with her to school. Yes, it didn't spit out fire, instead tons of pink and glitter, but it did grow and it did make a terrible terrible mess. However, then she makes a dragon and I just knew that was a terrible idea. What a fun idea, I would have loved to do that when I was little as well. Yes, Isadora should learn to stand up for herself, that is very important, BUT, Mirabelle is older than Isadora and shouldn't abuse that fact and persuade Isadora to do things that Isadora may not want to do.Īt first the magic is pretty fun, I love the idea of them changing themselves to tiny format and then have fun with the slide and the doll house. I was happy to see her again, though my happiness quickly disappeared when she did some not so good things in this book. In this one we see Mirabelle, Isadora's niece, visit for half-term. I was very much curious on how Isadora would get into trouble and how her parents (and school) would react. I just love the Isadora Moon series, they are cute, sugary, glittery, and fun. Isadora get in trouble! Yep, our sweet Isadora gets into big big trouble in this book!Īt first I thought I already read this book when I was at Library #1, but then I found out I hadn't read it. If Isadora had truly learned her lesson, she would have stood up to her cousin and honored her promise to her parents and done "the right thing" and stayed, literally, grounded Yet, Isadora’s cousin convinces Isabelle to take one last flight on the magic dragon before it disappears. I thought it was all handled well, including the eventual confession and consequences, but the ending just blew it, IMO, as it completely undermines the whole message that was just conveyed! :-( Isadora’s parents are, IMO, quite gracious and understanding, but do ground Isabella for a spell, including no flying. They aren’t doing anything truly awful, but Isadora’s conscience is pricked and she knows better… but goes along with the schemes, anyway. Muncaster deftly portrays the thoughts and emotions of a “good kid” who feels roped into trouble-making by a bad influence-in this case, her cousin. This was a four-star for me, until the last few pages. there are definitely some elements that fit well for this season.)Īw, darn. (The books are not centered around Halloween and could be read any time of year, but since Isadora's father is a vampire and they live in a castle, etc. I've read the series out-of-order but hope to get to the rest of them in the next few weeks as they are perfect for someone like me who loves a bit of Halloween fun without the scary-factor. The stories are well-written, the characters all feel well-drawn. The illustrations are full of the most darling details that always make me smile. I adore these Isadora Moon books! They are so charming and fun. Además que tenga ilustraciones es bastante útil porque en general a los peques les gusta verlas, y así agiliza la lectura. Considero muy importante que las editoriales se curren las ediciones y el libro sea bonito estéticamente hablando, aunque lo importante sea la historia en sí, pero sobre todo si hablamos de libros que son más bien para niños/as. Los colores que predominan son el rosa y el negro, y en sí los libros son muy llamativos porque tiene muchas ilustraciones y un montón de detalles, así que es fácil que llame la atención a los niños si lo ven en las librerías. La verdad es que la edición de estos libros es una pasada. Estos libros me recuerdan un montón a los de Los Cinco de Enid Blyton, no sé si alguien sabrá de cuales hablo, pero es un estilo similar: una serie de personajes que cada libro narra una historia distinta. It’s great practice for those that don’t want too much “idioms” at first but want a longer book for bridge reading.Uno de los motivos por los que empecé a leer estos libros es porque de vez en cuando me gusta leer cosas de este estilo, historias muy ligeras y cortas que se leen en una hora como mucho. At first I thought it would appeal to girls only but after my little one read it, I’ve found it will appeal to boys too so try to ignore the pink.Įach book is a quick read. These are not scary at all (if you’re thinking about the vampire part). The stories are about a girl who is half vampire half fairy and the first book is when she has to decide what school she wants to go to: fairy or vampire. This set is translated from the English set Isadora Moon. The language is easy to understand as is the story. Each book is probably about 3000-4000 characters with Zhuyin (that’s an estimate). This is a cute set of books great for readers that know Zhuyin.
