Summary
The long-awaited finale of the best-selling series！
The Blue Falcons is a secret kid’s club that fights against a family of villainous magicians。 Using an impressive arsenal of magical candy， Nate， Summer， Trevor， and Pigeon defeated Belinda White， a sinister candy shop owner who almost seized control of their town， and her brother， Jonas White， a maniacal arcade operator who tried to turn the planet into his personal puppet。
Now， the Blue Falcons believe they must battle the third sibling—Camilla， who has brought the Dreams and Screams International Carnival to their town of Colson， California。
Rumors are spreading about the new carnival。 Those who visit feel compelled to return。 Some who enter the labyrinthine Fun House disappear for days。 And the Big Top is said to bewitch audience members。
The Blue Falcons think they know who is responsible and are ready to fight， but the carnival blocks any outside magic。 Without their favorite enchanted treats， how can the kids save their town？
When weird dreams start to plague everyone who has visited the carnival， the worlds of magic and reality collide。 With the help of a new magical enforcer， the Blue Falcons will need to learn to use the magic of the carnival against itself， including a host of new magical carnival candies， and tap into the power of their own dreams to battle their greatest adversary yet。

Just as good as the first two; a good solid finish to the trilogy。 The main characters have started a new school year when a mysterious carnival comes to town - in other places that the carnival has been， people have disappeared。 Because it's a magical carnival， and there is magic keeping wizards from entering to investigate， our brave group of adventurers are called upon to visit the circus， learn its secrets， and free all those who might possibly still be inside the carnival。 Oh， and any magic Just as good as the first two; a good solid finish to the trilogy。 The main characters have started a new school year when a mysterious carnival comes to town - in other places that the carnival has been， people have disappeared。 Because it's a magical carnival， and there is magic keeping wizards from entering to investigate， our brave group of adventurers are called upon to visit the circus， learn its secrets， and free all those who might possibly still be inside the carnival。 Oh， and any magic candy they bring into the carnival won't work once they're inside。 And now I'll shut my mouth before I say too much。 。。。more

Candy Shop War 3 is finally here！ Like the rest of Brandon Mull fans， I have been waiting a long time for this book。 And of course， I was not disappointed。 I instantly was completely immersed in the story。 The magic， characters， mysterious world， everything is wonderfully imagined and just so Brandon Mull。 He is a favorite author of mine。 Fablehaven still is one of my favorite series。 Thank you to the publisher for the complimentary copy。 All views and opinions are my own。

Carnival Quest is the long-anticipated third and final book in the candy shop wars by Brandon Mull。 The author admits that when he started this series， the readers were children and now are adults， but it was well worth the wait for this series。 This time we are at a carnival， and there are secrets to be found， hidden passages， more magical candies， and of course， you have to be a kid to get all the benefits。 Brandon Mull has cornered the market on magically powerful candy。 Brandon also tells yo Carnival Quest is the long-anticipated third and final book in the candy shop wars by Brandon Mull。 The author admits that when he started this series， the readers were children and now are adults， but it was well worth the wait for this series。 This time we are at a carnival， and there are secrets to be found， hidden passages， more magical candies， and of course， you have to be a kid to get all the benefits。 Brandon Mull has cornered the market on magically powerful candy。 Brandon also tells you in his author letter now that all of his series is finished， a new one is on the horizon， and I can not wait to see where Brandon takes us next。 。。。more

My son won this advanced reader copy of the book at a local event with Brandon Mull and it has been a delight to finish a series I began over 12 years ago - and even better to share it with my kids。 If Brandon Mull happens across this review， I would love him to know of my deep gratitude for the stories he shares。I write this review as a different person than when I read the earlier books in this series。 In fact， it seems I've largely moved on， which says more about me than Mull's writing。 In fa My son won this advanced reader copy of the book at a local event with Brandon Mull and it has been a delight to finish a series I began over 12 years ago - and even better to share it with my kids。 If Brandon Mull happens across this review， I would love him to know of my deep gratitude for the stories he shares。I write this review as a different person than when I read the earlier books in this series。 In fact， it seems I've largely moved on， which says more about me than Mull's writing。 In fact， the intended audience （my middle-grade kids） loved this book！ So with that disclaimer， here's an adult's review of a middle-grade book:It is weird to have the first half of a book be my favorite。 Mull's imagination is unparalleled and I was intensely invested in the adventure of exploring the carnival， figuring out where the carnie coins should be used， understanding what enchanted carnie coins were for， and getting to the next big secret。 The book kept going deeper and deeper into the pure joy of discovery and I loved it。 Then， it was as if Mull figured out that he needed to actually move the plot along and the secrets largely stopped， the carnival narrowed to very few locations （leaving most areas untapped and other secrets abandoned）， and the book became an ordinary race to finish the quest。 That part of the book wasn't bad， but was disappointing in contrast to the first half of the book。Now let's talk characters。 I vaguely remember the prior two books， so I had to gain new impressions of all of them。 Nate and Summer were great protagonists。 Trevor and Pigeon were nearly indistinguishable from one another and weren't very interesting。 This wasn't really an issue until they got some breakoff chapters near the end together。 I recall Lindy being great in book 2， so I was disappointed she was almost completely sidelined。 And the enforcers all got smaller roles， except for Sandra， who was mostly uninteresting as a character （although essential for the plot）。The new magical candies were somewhat interesting， although with each character mainly using the same power over and over， this book felt like it lacked the wonder of the magical candy （or handstamps） that I recall from the prior books。 This was effectively replaced by the wonder of the carnival， but I see no reason that candy had to be introduced and used in the way it was。 Particularly for the "Candy Shop War。" But it was there and checked the necessary boxes。 I'll speak in vaguer terms for the ending to avoid spoilers。 Everything got resolved， which is always a plus for a book and a series。 There weren't really any major twists to be excited about， but that was okay too。 Some of the loose ends got wrapped up in some exposition in the last chapter， which wasn't particularly satisfying （dialogue would have been preferable）， but I suppose the resolution of those loose ends wasn't groundbreaking， so it was an acceptable choice。 Overall， this was a good book and I enjoyed it。 I would especially recommend it for its intended audience。 For those a bit older， enjoy it with your kids。 。。。more

When I saw this book was available for review， I decided to request it， even though I hadn't read the other books in the series， because my nine-year-old son had read them--and I figured he'd think I was cool if one of the books I reviewed was one he was interested in！ Haha， I really did request it because of my son's interest in this series， and he really was impressed that I got to read an advanced copy of the third book--he excitedly told his friends at school about it。 （I DID read the other When I saw this book was available for review， I decided to request it， even though I hadn't read the other books in the series， because my nine-year-old son had read them--and I figured he'd think I was cool if one of the books I reviewed was one he was interested in！ Haha， I really did request it because of my son's interest in this series， and he really was impressed that I got to read an advanced copy of the third book--he excitedly told his friends at school about it。 （I DID read the other two books before I started this one， although I don't think it would have been entirely necessary to understand and enjoy this one。） For me as a reader， this is probably a 3-star book: the plot and setting are well-developed and very detailed; the characters are relatively flat （I'm a character-driven reader so that was a bit of let-down for me） and the language/writing style is all right。 It's great that there's a carnival map at the beginning of the book to help readers see where everything is。 There aren't as many new magic candies in this book， which was something I really enjoyed about the previous books。 （The ones in this book also didn't seem as appealing--clown lips？ YUCK！） So， as an adult reader of a middle grade book， this book is good; as a parent， this is definitely a book I'd give to my kids。 And for the intended audience （at least my son）， this book is a hit。For my son， this is a 5-star book。 This is his review:"I liked how it's exciting and they have to use their brains to figure out what's happening and how to solve the problems。 I liked how the carnival expanded and that there lots of hidden things about it。 I like the names of the characters， and I think Nate is funny。 I like that they can use magic to turn into different things and have different powers。 I like the stuff about dreams。 I like that there's a bunch of different characters， and it's really interesting。"So， he really enjoyed it and has started asking when Brandon Mull's next signing event is so he can see him and get his books signed！ So， with it getting 3 stars from me and 5 stars from him， we'll average at 4 stars。I read an ARC provided by the publisher。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

A thrilling conclusion to the Candy Shop War as we meet the last White sibling and explore a dreamlike carnival。 I think what really stood out to me in this book was the fully dream like nature of the carnival， with twisting roads and secret areas that only would make sense in a dream。 Add in magic candy and an evil witch and you had me sold。

I almost wanted a map of Colson， and I NEVER want maps， so congratulations to the artist！ It's good to see Nate and his friends at school， and John Dart's Lunch Lord was a fun touch。 Including the social media influencer Zac was a fun choice that will draw in modern readers。 The fact that the school planned a trip to an evil carnival made me laugh！ There were a lot of really good lines， including the best description of clowns that I have ever seen: （from the E ARC） "Clowns are a disturbing kind of funny，" Pigeon said。 "Their happiness is contrived。 It's all paint and giggles。 You never know when they'll snap。" I snort-laughed several times at some of the lines。 There is plenty of mystery and clues， and a lot of magical details and background to sort through to solve the mystery， and a very satisying conclusion。 If you've stuck around long enough to read the whole series， you will not be disappointed。 Could this work as a stand alone？ It actually might not be too bad without the first two， although it's much better if you are able to get The Candyshop War and Arcade Quest。Weaknesses: I personally would have liked this better had it been a little shorter。 There's a lot of details about running around the carnival and also about the nature of dreams vs。 reality that bogged the middle of this down a bit。 Of course， fantasy is not my genre of choice。 Fantasy fans will wish the book was longer。 I do wish there had been more interactions with Nate's parents and his sister Cheryl。 We see them only briefly， and I kid of missed them。 The grandparents in Fablehaven are my favorite part！ What I really think: I'll purchase this one for old time's sake， and it will see enough circulation to justify that cost。 The first book still skeeves me out， although this one wasn't quite as bad。 I've spent the last fifteen years recommending this series to students by telling them I hate it and that they shouldn't take candy from strangers， and the students have loved the book。 Me？ I'm never going anywhere NEAR any carnivals that come to my town。 Readers of Arden's Small Spaces will find this a good series to pursue once they have finished Empty Smiles。 。。。more

I have waited years for this book！ My kids and I stumbled across the first book at our school library。 We would check out books on CD to listen to in the car and we loved it！ Then Arcade Catastrophe came out and it was so good！ We went and saw Brandon at a book event and he told us the third book would be out in 5 years。 We couldn’t believe we would have to wait that long… I think it was over 7 years ago he told us that。 I was so lucky to get to read an advance copy from NetGalley。I thought the I have waited years for this book！ My kids and I stumbled across the first book at our school library。 We would check out books on CD to listen to in the car and we loved it！ Then Arcade Catastrophe came out and it was so good！ We went and saw Brandon at a book event and he told us the third book would be out in 5 years。 We couldn’t believe we would have to wait that long… I think it was over 7 years ago he told us that。 I was so lucky to get to read an advance copy from NetGalley。I thought the beginning was a little slow but once the kids met Sandra things got fun！ I would not be sad if the White Family had any other siblings or a crazy aunt to come wreck havoc and let another book be written！ I look forward to the series Brandon says he is working on now… but I don’t know how he has time with his 11 children！ 。。。more

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。 This was pretty lackluster compared to the other books in the series。 The characters were pretty flat。 While they weren’t the most complex in the other books， they had personalities and motives that made them well-rounded characters。 There was none of that in this book。 And it felt like Pigeon was barely there， which sucks because he’s my favorite character。 Or his dog。 :（I also don’t feel great abou Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。 This was pretty lackluster compared to the other books in the series。 The characters were pretty flat。 While they weren’t the most complex in the other books， they had personalities and motives that made them well-rounded characters。 There was none of that in this book。 And it felt like Pigeon was barely there， which sucks because he’s my favorite character。 Or his dog。 :（I also don’t feel great about Lindy’s ending。 Besides the fact that she and Mr。 Scott we’re barely in the book at all， I felt like her ending completely erased all of the development she had in Book 2， which is really disappointing。 It also felt like nothing happened in the book， despite the conflict being a ‘world-ending’ one， as said by the characters。 I was waiting for the exposition to be over， and I realized I was like 65% of the way in。 Even the climax felt like exposition rather than a climax to both the book and the series。 The book also didn’t really expand much on the magic system。 It kind of made the magic boring， in fact。 Overall， I’d definitely recommend the first two books。 The series definitely deserved a better finale， though。 I’m not mad I read it， but I doubt I’ll reread it。 I will miss this series though， especially Pigeon and his dog。 。。。more
