glamorous Sisterhood of Magic Ball, but first she must pass a series of
magical tests. Can Trix draw on all her witchy know-how - and the power
of friendship - to become the belle of the ball?
Nayuleska's thoughts
I still have tears in my eyes as I type this
review from finishing yet another awesome magical read. Trix is so likeable and
kind that every mishap made me feel all jumbled up inside my tummy. Her
excitement and fear throughout the tests kept me holding my breath in several
places. There are so many cool elements to this installment. If I have to pick
one it would be the way Trix had to choose shoes.
Trix manages to get the other witches
working together except for Stella. Doing the right thing seems to be the wrong
thing for Trix, which is why the end had me crying hard.She is an ideal role
model for readers, since there are times when she wants to be mean but,
through Jinx's point of view readers learn it's better to be kind. I had
guessed one plot twist straight away, but that meant I was eager to read it when
it was completed, and also probably explains why I cried at the end. I'm desperately
hoping there are more adventures for Trix!
