Enter a land of magical ponies in this chapter book series that features illustrations throughout and comes with a collectible charm!
The enchanted island of Chevalia, where ponies rule, has finally had its magic restored, thanks to human Pippa and pony Princess Stardust. Her task complete, Pippa has returned to our world . . . but her friends in Chevalia are never far away.
On Christmas, Pippa receives a surprise visit from flying pony Cloud, who shares bad news--someone has stolen the beautiful silver horseshoes from Chevalia's big Christmas tree! Pippa rushes to Chevalia and teams up with her best friend, Princess Stardust, to track them down. But when the search for the thief starts to make Stardust suspicious of her own friends and family, Pippa realizes that listening to and helping others might be more important than the missing decorations. Can the friends come together to return the true spirit to the holiday?
Pippa's adventures in magical Chevalia continue, brought to life with delightful illustrations--and the book includes a special collectible charm.

My Review: I saw this in my son's scholastic flyer and just had to pick it up. It speaks to all the nostalgic parts of my pony obsessed heart. This was a really cute book that is great for young readers. It is definitely geared more towards the young girls but anyone could enjoy it. You don't necessarily need to have read the rest of the series but it does mention ponies and events from the previous books. I can see some influences from the Grinch story and the My Little Ponies Movie from when I was a kid but Ryder took those and created an all new story with some great messages for the reader.
Another take home from the Scholastic Book Fair - and another that H was super into that I thought was okay, not terrible. It had something good to say about the burden of proof and inclusion.
