[Fourth Grade]

My opinion about this book is that its easy for beginners to read,adventurous and happy.Its also good for frozen fans. Its about a troll trying to track down the troll leader so he can make his last magic crystal glow and become a level one troll.The troll is kind and friendly.

I am confused as to why there is a Frozen: Northern Lights children's book series. Not disappointed, but very confused. Did someone ask for not just Frozen themed children's books, but some that incorporate the northern lights specifically? Maybe some rich, out of touch socialite paid Disney to do it in the hopes it would spark interest.

By the way, when I say incorporate the northern lights, don't get it confused: the book is not about the northern lights. They just kind of show up at the end and everyone is pretty excited to see them. At least in the "let it glow" book from the Frozen Northern Lights collection the northern lights are a very loose part of the story.

That said, I did enjoy the main story. The tale of Little Rock being bad at tracking only to find out its really about the friends you make along the way was charming, and while nonsensical at times, held together. That said, I felt there wasn't enough northern lights integration. Also, there was a weird amount of sledding. Not that sledding is bad, but when there is more sledding then northern lights I'm going to have a problem.

The pictures for this book were really nice, but other than that the book wasn't great. It was a short version of Journey to the Lights, and it left out some important parts. The author also shortened some things so much that they no longer made any sense. It was not impressed by this book. It could have been so much better with some changes to the writing.

I assume Journey to the Lights is a chapter book, so this Big Golden Book is more our speed at age 3. A young troll named Little Rock is essentially passing a scout ceremony but he's missing a badge crystal in tracking. Fortunately, Grand Pabbie has gone missing so... opportunity! It's cute, but I don't really understand the Northern Lights subseries.

My girls were enthralled, as with anything princesses and Frozen. It was a “yawn” for me.

Too difficult for the 3 year old but they liked it regardless even if it was in chunks and focused on the wrong points. I thought if they did understand, it would have been an even less satisfying story because Little Rock doesn't seem to really grasp the challenge and awarding a tracking challenge for asking for help could have been great for bravery or some other challenge of ego, but not a skill challenge.
