Lucia O'Brian is heading to the Republic of Soldita, and Connie, Randolph, and a certain glamorous ghost wind up coming along for the ride. At first Scarlett doesn't think much of the idea, but all that changes once she learns their destination—the island of El Sol, where her mother once told her the starry crown of Cornelia Faris lies hidden. But there's more to this treasure hunt than meets the eye, and plenty of trouble waiting for Connie and Scarlett across the sea.

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

With everything wrapped up in the first three volumes, this is the book that technically didn't need to exist. Is it still well-written and set in a fascinating world? Absolutely, but "The Silly Adventures of Connie and Scarlett" just doesn't have the same heft to it that the original novels did, and it feels like Kujira Tokiwa may not have fully understood what made those books so good. I enjoyed this to a point, but I also kept questioning myself as to why I was still reading it.

If you liked the previous three books you will like this one.  Obviously, I did, or I else wouldn’t have picked up volume 4 to begin with.   It is a very quick read; I pretty much read it in one day, (though that was partially because I couldn’t sleep so I read instead).

 The only thing I didn’t like was Adolphus Castiel. This guy is a huge Karma Houdini who literally sacrificed his own daughter (Scarlett) and is now being portrayed in a sympathetic light because he misses his late wife (Scarlett’s mother). In this book he almost killed his son by using him as a Guinea pig for his horrible lemonade. Worst father ever! Fortunately, that was a minor subplot that could be easily ignored.
