 I should have done a little more, April 03, 2013

on line checking on the author and her other books. The story line is great when reading to an 8 year American girl, I am having to stop and explain the difference in the English words and what they translate into American English.Which of course is not a bad thing for childern to understand "same word different meaning for different countries". EX: American-Yard, English-Garden and so forth. With all the stopping for word disscussion we are not terribly far in the book.

 Candy Wars II, December 19, 2011
By BigAl

Although not folkloric, both "Candy Wars" books have the qualities of a fairy tale as I think of them. The experts are still arguing over a definition. The setting is (mostly) in a magical enchanted land populated with mythical beings. The characters experience adventure and in the process are transformed.
Cordiner's distinctive style uses made up words for sounds. Whether intended or not, I see this as a nod to the oral tradition of fairy tales and other folkloric stories. It makes them fun to read aloud and readers in the prime age range for this book have fun making the sounds while getting practical practice in "sounding out" words.
Another quality I imagine is (or should be) in the definition of a fairy tale is that they teach their audience something by example. Where the original "Candy Wars" had lessons about war and family, "Sweet Revenge" has lessons about friendship and responsibility. My eight year-old granddaughter just ate this book up. I think your kids will like it too.
