There’s nothing the five brave heroes of the Super Happy Magic Forest love more than a quest (well, other than ice-creams) and this their latest involves a trek into the Distant Desert, a magic carpet, a genie who’s lost her lamp, and an epic trial of strength and endurance with the prickly champions of Cactus Canyon.
It all starts when Blossom the unicorn fiddles with a forbidden thing leading to everyone’s least favourite councillor Tiddlywink being imprisoned in a magic Rubik’s Cube. Can the friends save him, and can they do it without Blossom revealing it was his fault in the first place?
As quests go, this is super-silly and very often laugh-out-loud funny, but still full of epic-level thrills and adventure. The cartoon style format makes these stories super-appealing and accessible, and guaranteed to make all readers super-happy.
