Toby and the Pixies: Pixie Pandemonium

LoveReading4Kids Says

When is help more of a hindrance? When it comes courtesy of a pack of pesky pixies who can’t help but be mischievous, of course! Such is the situation Toby finds himself in time and time again in James Turner’s Pixie Pandemonium, with wildly wacky, outrageously characterful illustrations by Andreas Schuster.  

First up, matters take something of a stormy turn when Toby is ill and the pixies under his charge as their king decide to “help” by slipping some pixie medicine into his drink. Then there’s the time a trip to the dentist sees Toby having to strike a deal with his teeth. No matter where Toby goes, and no matter what he does — from taking a trip to the beach, and performing in a school play, to building snowmen — chaos comes too, thanks to the presence of pixies.  

Super-fast, super-funny and packed with puns and outlandish episodic events, Pixie Pandemonium is especially ideal for kids who prefer to dip and in out of shorter blasts of reading. That said, the laughter levels are likely to compel them to keep reading “just one more!” chapter until the whole book is done. Thankfully, there are other books to enjoy in this series of comic capers that first appeared in the fabulous Phoenix magazine.
