When Ellie, Summer and Jasmine are invited to a special starlight sleepover in the Secret Kingdom, they must find a way to make sure Queen Malice doesn't get HER wish to come true! Two stories in one.
Quick Summary
If your kid loves magic, friendship, and a touch of adventure, this Secret Kingdom book delivers both stories in one value-packed read. Three best friends Ellie, Summer, and Jasmine get whisked away to a magical starlight sleepover where they have to outsmart Queen Malice before she gets her wish, and honestly, the way these girls work together as a team is what makes it really special. It's got just enough tension to keep things exciting without being too scary, and younger kids who are confident readers will fly through it. One thing I appreciate as a parent is that it balances the whimsical fantasy elements with solid messages about friendship and perseverance without being preachy. Kids who enjoyed other early chapter book series like Ivy + Bean or the Princess in Black will likely gravitate toward this one, especially if they're into anything with a magical kingdom vibe. The dual-story format is great for kids who want a little extra reading time without committing to two separate books.
