BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Pippa, 11, is content with her place somewhere in the middle
of 8 children. But then a stranger from
the Council comes knocking and whisks Pippa off to be tested for a prized place
as one of this year’s Triumphants. When Pippa is declared a Triumphant she is
whisked again – this time to Peabody’s Academy of he Triumphant. Pippa was expecting the castle and the people
is in to be, well – much more Trimumphant.
Instead the caste seems downright apologetic for its shabby
appearance. Pippa writes a desperate
letter to a fairy godmother, hoping to find a way to go back to her family, but
the Winds of Waverly deliver the letter to Oliver – who is the oldest boy at
Razzle’s School for Meddlesome Boys who has yet to receive his magician’s
hat. Maybe if he meddles with Pippa’s
wish he can be worthy of his fondest dream.
Welcome back to the world first introduced in Birdie Bloom’s
Tale. Having read this equally
delightful tale of the Triumphants, I can only hope there is a third book to
come where the Tragicals, Triumphants, and others take a stand against the
Chancellor! Now that there are two books, the kids who find the books have even
more to enjoy!
