Nayu's thoughts
I
absolutely adore the Princess Evie series, both the picture books and
this vaguely new chapter book series. There are still some intricate
illustrations to gaze upon between the action filled chapters. Sadly
they aren't in colour, but even in black and white they are girly and
make me smile.
I
love the magic in Evie's adventures, how I never knew what was going
to happen next, how she has her cute cat Sparkles as a companion - as a cat lover this makes it even easier for me to imagine I'm Evie. There's
plenty of snow fun to be had between dodging avalanches! The
way Evie gets a new outfit is inventive, and the fact she's going to
see the Northern Lights (also known as the Aurora Borealis, seen below) is awesome as it's real and feels entirely natural for Evie to
see after her escapade in the snow with other ponies.

The story is
subtle in teaching the reader a life lesson through Evie's actions
(or in some cases inaction), and is so fun I can't wait to read it
again! The pony facts at the end have a good balance of detail and are fun to read.
