A Fun, Winning Wintery Offering…

“When Gooey Looey’s mischievous trick upsets the Candy Friends’ plans for a fun snow day, a magic-infused birthday wish saves the day in Goodman’s latest installment of the Candy Friends Adventure series. Charlie Crunch and his pals’ Gingerbread Express ride has come to an end, and the crew is keen to embark on another journey. What could be more exciting than trekking up Sprinkle Mountain and spending a delightful day in the snow? Unfortunately, Gooey Looey’s mischievous prank leaves the friends stuck on the mountain. They’ll have to act quickly if they want to get out of this fix. Goodman’s assured storytelling voice creates excitement about what lies ahead for Charlie and his friends. The fun-filled spreads showcase the glittering ice palace, a variety of icicles, and the Choco Copter in a chocolatey flurry. As readers become entranced, the story builds to exhilarating moments of team-work and wintry cheer, culminating in thrilling moments. Giorgos’s charming illustrations use color and detail to deliver captivating wintry scenes children will want to pore over again and again. A cleverly imagined romp that celebrates the power of unity, teamwork, and camaraderie.” - The Prairies Book Review
