Description

Sparkleton goes one-on-one with a magic hat for the Winter Carnival in the fourth book of this full-color early chapter book series about a unicorn who will do anything to get wish-granting powers—except his homework.

Everyone is warning Sparkleton not to wear the Pixie Cap. It grants ONE WHOLE WISH but has 843 rules! Sparkleton knows it’s probably a bad idea—but what if it isn’t?

Will the Cap let Sparkleton wish for Shimmer Lake’s most magical, snowy Winter Carnival ever? Or will Sparkleton’s brr-illliant idea turn to slush?

Reviews

"Sparkleton’s flaws make him an accessible character and offer a good source of low-stakes tension. A quirky new series that’s strong out of the gate." - Kirkus Reviews

"With adorable graphics and encouraging unicorns at the end of the chapters, Sparkleton is about to take elementary libraries by (glittery) storm." - School Library Journal
