Enchanted Palace (Secret Kingdom) by Rosie Banks



This is an ideal book for little girls. It has everything they love. It has magic, unicorns, friends, fairies, rainbows (that you can slide on), mermaids, shiny stars on the cover, pink-edged pages, free gifts (if you send off the tokens).

The story sees the three friends, Ellie, Summer and Jasmine, find a magic box which takes them to the Secret Kingdom with Trixie the fairy and King Merry. They are there to help King Merry defeat the evil Queen Malice.

So a story of good versus evil that had my nearly 6-year-old gripped as I read it for bedtime stories over a few nights. The text is nice and big so that she could probably attempt to read it herself (although a lot of words altogether) and there are nice pictures to add to the story, all of them in black and white though.

The story itself is short and only part 1 of six (although it is self-contained), so from that aspect it is a little disappointing. It is designed to lead you to purchase the other books in the series, what with the token collecting for free gifts, the spines and the magic word competition at the end, but young girls will love it because of all that is contained within.

(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed here.)
