My review of Calm Before the Snow
Calm Before the Snow is the third book in The Lolly Shop series and what a fun read it is!
The series is set in Queensland, Australia and Bax and Ethan are hoping it give the town snow for Christmas. Dex the bilby is trying to think of ways to stop Vulpes destroying the bilby habitat in the alternate world of Nochternelle. He uses a portal to visit the boys for help.
Calm before the Snow would have to be my favourite book in the series, although Dot loves them all.
Bax and Ethan are back to making more magical treats after the big break in from book 2.
There are are treats to give your pets so they can talk. Who wouldn't like to know what their pet is thinking! This made for some humorous moments that caused us all to chuckle.
Along with all the fun there are ecological themes such as sustainability, regeneration, protection and growth of native species, plus the danger of introduced species killing native animals and destroying the eco-system of the area.
Calm Before the Snow is a fun story with an engaging plot sure to be enjoyed by the 6 to 10 years age group.
my rating 4 / 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
