So, after I read the first book in the “Bluebell” book series, I just had to
read more books from this series and lo and behold, I was given a copy of the
sequel to the first “Bluebell” book,
“Bluebell and the Silver Palace” and
man, was it even more exciting than the first book!
The story starts off with Bluebell, the newly
appointed Wish Fairy, buying some honey from the bumblebees that make the honey,
in order to make some delicious honey cakes.
But unfortunately, Bluebell ends up being arrested by Queen Caraway and
it turns out that the Queen’s honey has been stolen. So, Queen Caraway wishes for Bluebell to find
out who stole her honey.
Can
Bluebell solve this mystery?
Find
out in this book!
So, after reading the first book in this series, I
was dying to read more adventures from Bluebell the Wish Fairy and man, this
sequel does not disappoint me! P.J. Reed did a fantastic job at
writing this story as the tone of this story shifts to a mystery genre, rather
than be a straight up adventure genre like in the first book. I really loved this change in genre for the
second book because I always loved reading mystery books and this book does a
great job at setting up the mystery of who stolen the honey from the Queen and
how Bluebell and her friends try to solve the case. I also loved the relationship that Bluebell
has with both Tobin the Gnome and newcomer, Billy the bee as they both provided
some interesting dynamics with Bluebell.
Tobin is as usual, usually stern with Bluebell, while Billy is much more
playful towards Bluebell. Emma Gribble’s
artwork is great to look at as they are simplistic yet beautiful and they
greatly complement the cute and mysterious tone of this book.
Overall, “Bluebell
and the Silver Palace” is a fantastic sequel to the first “Bluebell” book
and if you love reading about mysteries and delicious food, then this book is
definitely worth checking out! I would
recommend this book to children ages five and up since there is nothing really
inappropriate in this book.
