[Meg Mueller · Rating 3 out of 5]

My daughter absolutely adored the Pegasus and meeting new friends in this book.

The gripe I have about all these wonderful people that Lucas and Clara meet is that they are so quickly introduced and then dismissed as the next book begins. Out of the ten chapters in this book, we didn’t meet Grace until Chapter 9 which leaves little room to get to know her before it abruptly ends and moves on.

Too bad we don’t add friends to the mix and they become like a “band of friends”.

Read aloud to 2/3 of the younger kids. This one was pretty meh for me (this is a series with lots of plot holes as an adult), but I continue to read them because the gentle fantasy aspect is good for me younger kids, especially one who struggles with strong emotions in books.

I enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Lucas, Clara, and Grace healed a pegasus' wing. I did not like this book because I did not like the part when all the enderberries disappeared.

These get better with every book! A great fantasy series that's clean, adventurous, teaches great morals, and has an illustration on every page!

I liked this book because there was a unicorn and two friends going on cool adventure's together. I didn't like it when the pegasus lost it's wing.

Fiction; 118 pgs; The final book in the series focuses on a shooting star, a mysterious hunter, a flying horse named Pegasus and missing enderberries from the Troll's gardens. Another fun adventure with Prince Lucas and Clara. Gr. 3-4; Highly recommended.

Trey thinks it was a great story and it only took us 2 sittings to read it all. He loves this series and can't wait for the next one to come out

Not too shabby.
Prince Lucas and his best friend Clara Mills are on a balcony looking at the blue moon and an enormous blue cloud. Owls hoot-hoot in a way that I can only imagine would be awesome to behold in real life. Then, a shooting star soars across the sky. The following day, the enormous blue cloud is still hanging in the sky. What's concerning is that the trolls in Burth awake to find that most of their enderberry crop has either been eaten, stolen, or both.
Hmm.
In my opinion, this sequel has a lot of convenient writing; the story is really point A to point B to point C, etcetera, without much trouble, which comes across has oddly convenient for the two characters. This "adventure" comes across as being too easy for Lucas and Clara, as well, compared to their previous ones. For the most part, though, this sequel does have a magical quality to it that seems to make up for the easy and convenient mission. At least a little bit.
3 stars.

James: I liked how in the beginning they had a blue moon and there were a lot of owls and they sang a song. I liked how at the end there was a shooting star. The trolls berries were gone and they didn't know what happened to them. Lucas and Clara went to the royal library to read and see if they could figure out what happened. Lucas found something about it that said how pegasus love the berries. They had some of those berries at the castle so they put them on mermaids cove and hid behind a rock and saw the pegasus. Then Ruskin came out and squawked and the pegasus answered. Lucas asked Ruskin to tell the pegasus that they were not going to hurt it. They got to come out and pet it. There was a hunter that was trying to get the pegasus because it had a broken wing to help it but Lucas and Clara thought it was trying to kill it.

My Review: I have been anxiously reading to reach this book because Pegasus! Anyway, it wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was still really enjoyable. It didn't seem to have as much of a lesson to young readers as some of the previous books in the series have, but it isn't necessary. I would have liked a lot more pegasus involved, especially as it doesn't seem like we will get any more in the series.

[Krista · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simon continues to enjoy this series. I still think the "adventures" aren't very adventurous. But these are perfect for kids who are ready for chapter books, whether read aloud or independently, who are easily frightened by monsters or more serious subject matter.

Decent early-chapter book fantasy.

[Tess Jones-Orta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yay, finally some diversity! And a fun story, as usual

Great book over-all

[Amanda Lechel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read aloud to J. He really loves these books and it's fun to see him excited to finish them. I enjoyed this one-great message to not make a judgement on how someone looks or by first impressions.

10/10 my favorite book series

[Ferren · Rating 4 out of 5]

My 8 year old loved this one, but she said she's giving it 4 stars because she wishes it was longer 🙃

[Jason · Rating 3 out of 5]

Combines lots of fun fantasy elements in a coherent way. My 4 yr old loves it.

[Zazie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great series full of adventure but the characters are not fleshed out as much as I would love them to be. Still good, though.

[Alex · Rating 3 out of 5]

These books are so cute.

[Maximilian Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]
