Gr 2-4–The Star Friends are back in this animal-filled, fantastical chapter book series about a group of magical animals who bond with human kids and teach them how to improve the world through magic. In this installment, the girls are trying to figure out who conjured the dark magic shades in their town’s annual scarecrow contest (the subject of the previous book) while also hanging with their new non–Star Friend classmate Maddie and trying to stop a development from taking over their mystical clearing in the woods. Expressive pencil drawings throughout the short chapters combine with uncomplicated world-building to make these stories a great entry to magical realism, mysteries, and fantasy series for young readers. VERDICT Purchase where magical mysteries circulate well. --School Library Journal

Author Information

Linda Chapman is the best-selling author of more than 200 books. The biggest compliment Linda can have is for a child to tell her they became a reader after reading one of her books. Linda lives in a cottage with a tower in Leicestershire with her husband, three children, two dogs, and one pony. When she's not writing, Linda likes to ride, read, and visit schools and libraries to talk to people about writing. Kim Barnes lives near the sea on the Isle of Wight, her childhood home, along with her fiancé and two children. Kim’s love of drawing began at a very young age and has led her to a career in illustration, specializing in children's illustration.
