My 5 year old daughter and I read this book together and she really liked it. Although, reading the back of the book you would think this was a big adventure story, when really the adventure begins and ends within 2 of the 12 chapters. Regardless of the back of the book being slightly over dramatic,my daughter liked it enough that she now wants to read the second book in the series. Me as an adult, it was good, of course most of it is predictable, but still it was fun to read with my daughter and it was fun to imagine the world of Candy that the author created and the cute little sayings the fairies would say like "sure as sugar" and more.

My eight year old daughter absolutely adores these books. She reads them as fast as we can get our hands on them. That gets this book five stars if for no other reason...candy, fairies, friends -- winner

I read this aloud with my 2nd grader and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the writing and language. A nice alternative to the Rainbow Fairy stories.
I will definitely buy these for our school library and recommend them to children who want short chapter books. My only wish is that the illustrations better correspond to the text - often the emotions in the illustrations don't help new readers understand the emotions in the text.

My 6 year old wanted to transition to chapter books and this is what she chose for me to read to her. She's loving it. I was not excited to read this to her and it honestly took me a while to get into the rhythm of the story and all it's sugary sweetness.
I'd say it is just ok read but my daughter who it is aimed at thinks it amazing and can't wait for the next book.

My daughter, who's in Kindergarten, absolutely loved this book. She was even able to read a lot of it by herself! She has so much confidence now! Cute story, I wish they had a series like this when I was growing up.

As far as getting your 7 year old to read goes- this book does it's job well. What little girl doesn't want to read about fairies AND dessert!
My teeth hurt while I am reading, but it's worth it to be able to read with her.

Natalie decided to drop this one. While she likes sweets and fairies, the two together wasn't engaging for her. She seems to like more traditional fantasy (nature fairies) or when fantasy bleeds into reality (Magic Kitten, HP).

I like when Coco and Princess Lolly go to an evil troll that takes away all most of the candy in fairy land wich is over the frosted mountains.

Super cute MG book. Review to follow soon.

It was a little repetitive and, at times, a little sickeningly sweet, but a quick read with my preschooler.

Just couldn't do it. Seven year old didn't even notice that we did not finish it. I whisked it back to the library. It's just so sloooow.

Oh my goodness, what a bundle of saccharine fluff. This was not to my taste at all, but the huge Rainbow Fairies following will absolutely LOVE this series.

O and Daddy have been reading this series. O enjoys them, Daddy says they are nowhere near as good as the Fairy Bell Sister series.

This was cute- a cross between Disney fairies and Candyland. The fairies all display positive traits- kindness, loyalty, bravery. The plot was good. And the candy-coated land is thorough.

Me and my 5 year old daughter read this together in 3 days! She enjoyed it very much!

A troll steals special chocolate eggs, and Cocoa, the chocolate fairy, must get them back. Otherwise they won’t have them for the parade, which would be catastrophic for...reasons?
Lots of repetition and fretting as the fairies gather and discuss what to do. Not my favorite, but there are definitely kids I would recommend these to. Like those who need something a little harder than Rainbow Magic.

Cocoa was in charge of the chocolate eggs for the chocolate egg festival, but then she figures out that some cuchies took the eggs for their boss, Mugu. But, the five fairies went to see Princess Lolli and they made chocolate covered pretzels and Mugu at so many he got very sick and all he said was "oh, my tummy". So the fairies were safe for the festival. Well, at least for now.

I love this book! I hope they have a good dentist otherwise their teeth could get kinda gross! Anyway this book was really good. I will definitely read more candy fairies books as they are delicious! (Not to eat of course but fun to read and sounds really good)

My younger daughter checked a new Candy Fairies book out from the school library every single week this spring. While not my favorite books to read with her, they are sweet books with strong role models of kindness and friendship.

A cute fairy story with just the right amount of story arc.

Previewed for my child.
Besides the insidious and smarmy follow/listen to your heart stuff (only briefly mentioned), this book contains some traditional lessons on courage and friendship that make it appropriate for young readers. Positive lessons also include taking responsibility, telling the truth, facing your fears, and admitting when you need help.
If the rest of the series is similarly written, this is a harmless if overly sweet for some series of easy chapter books.
