Product Description
Fiscal Pear and Shimmer embark on their annual adventure only to find themselves running for their lives! A diabolical bakery and her villainous henchmen have hatched an evil plan to catch the walking talking pear in a last ditch effort to save the bakery from ruin. SOL realizes the power needed to help the little pear and lightning bug lies with the Council of the Wise. In a flash, SOL flies through the air with them on his back in an attempt to get them safely to the Council. When SOL disappears in mid-flight, Fiscal Pear and Shimmer plummet into the dark vastness beneath them and unexpectedly come face to face with the worst of the bakery’s agents…Cutter! Cornered in the dead of night, how will they ever escape Cutter and his gang in the thick forest?
My Review: The target audience for this book seems to be precocious 9-12 year old girls. The story is cute and adventurous. The author personifies inanimate objects for most of the characters including a pear, a knife, and bakeries. The story has quite a bit of imagination, and the theme is classic good versus evil. At points in the book I was very engaged, yet at other points I found my mind wandering because it bogged me down. Honestly I had a difficult time getting through this book. If I were giving a star rating to this book it would be a 3 out of 5 star book.
