Oh I love a good finale。 And I must admit I loved how Brandon Mull followed some of the other kids in the group more。 I especially love Pigeon and seeing him step into a larger role in the book was really great！ As my son said -- Pigeon is a boss！ This was a really satisfying end of a series that was really great。 I didn't give it the credit it was due at first， if I'm being honest。 It sounded a little too silly for my taste， but I trust Brandon Mull and gave it a shot when I thought it was only Oh I love a good finale。 And I must admit I loved how Brandon Mull followed some of the other kids in the group more。 I especially love Pigeon and seeing him step into a larger role in the book was really great！ As my son said -- Pigeon is a boss！ This was a really satisfying end of a series that was really great。 I didn't give it the credit it was due at first， if I'm being honest。 It sounded a little too silly for my taste， but I trust Brandon Mull and gave it a shot when I thought it was only a stand-alone book。 I'm glad he finished the series and am excited to see what he does next！ 。。。more

I didn’t realize the third book wasn’t released when I started the series not long ago。 But I’m happy it came out not long after I finished book 2。 A good conclusion to the series。 Definitely recommend - kids and adults alike。

My son has loved this whole series （age 15）。 So fun and imaginative。 These books are well written and perfect for any age！ We have read and enjoyed almost everything Brandon Mull has written。 Best of all his books are clean and wholesome so I never worry that my kids will read something I would not approve of in his books。

This was a fun conclusion to this trilogy of books （I wouldn't be mad if he decides to write another book in the series again someday too）。 Brandon Mull just does such an amazing job of capturing the magic and imagination of being a kid。 The world's he creates and the characters he writes are also hard not to fall in love with as well。 I've said it many times before and I'm sure I'll say it again， but Brandon Mull really is my favorite author and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next！ This was a fun conclusion to this trilogy of books （I wouldn't be mad if he decides to write another book in the series again someday too）。 Brandon Mull just does such an amazing job of capturing the magic and imagination of being a kid。 The world's he creates and the characters he writes are also hard not to fall in love with as well。 I've said it many times before and I'm sure I'll say it again， but Brandon Mull really is my favorite author and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next！ 。。。more

Thank you Brandon Mull！ We've been waiting for this book since the last one came out years ago and I will testify that it was worth the wait。 In the words of my 10 year old son， "It was AWESOME！" He is already on his second time reading it。 Thank you Brandon Mull！ We've been waiting for this book since the last one came out years ago and I will testify that it was worth the wait。 In the words of my 10 year old son， "It was AWESOME！" He is already on his second time reading it。 。。。more

I was surprised how much I liked this book， probably because I didn’t love the second one and so didn’t have high expectations for this one。 And when is the third book ever the best in the series？ But I thought it was incredibly creative and clever。 I absolutely loved all the secret places in the carnival and was impressed with the diversity of places they visited while making it still feel like they could totally be at the carnival。 I also thought it could have gotten very confusing with the wh I was surprised how much I liked this book， probably because I didn’t love the second one and so didn’t have high expectations for this one。 And when is the third book ever the best in the series？ But I thought it was incredibly creative and clever。 I absolutely loved all the secret places in the carnival and was impressed with the diversity of places they visited while making it still feel like they could totally be at the carnival。 I also thought it could have gotten very confusing with the whole dreamland/reality crossover but the author managed to keep it pretty straightforward and made it work。 I also loved the surprise twist towards the end。 Two tiny criticism: 1-it didn’t make sense to me that the one running the carnival would have sold magic candy to the kids who were then able to use it against them。 I wish the author would have set it up to have someone secretly selling the secret candy and the owner being upset when they found out。 And 2- it has been so long since his last book in this series came out that I think he could have put in a refresher of who some of the people are。 （For example， I vaguely remembered the twins but didn’t know where they came from or how they met the kids previously？）。 But again， these were small annoyances and I thoroughly enjoyed this quick， fun read 。。。more

Listened to the third book in this series with my youngest who loves the idea of magical candy that gives you superhuman powers。 He loved the idea of having a dreamscape where you can create anything you dream up。 He would rate it 5 stars， I think it was a fun and adventurous 4 star middle grade fiction。It had great messages about being aware of the "programming" you take in and the power of friendship。 Listened to the third book in this series with my youngest who loves the idea of magical candy that gives you superhuman powers。 He loved the idea of having a dreamscape where you can create anything you dream up。 He would rate it 5 stars， I think it was a fun and adventurous 4 star middle grade fiction。It had great messages about being aware of the "programming" you take in and the power of friendship。 。。。more

Honestly， this book shows just how far this series and has come。 In the first book and Arcade Catastrophe， I was pleased as a kid with the fun world Brandon created with the candy and at the arcade。 I was blown away as an adult with the ideas that Brandon came up with in Dreams and Screams International Carnival。 On top of that， the plot worked smoothly and kept me at the edge of my seat like I’ve never seen his work before。 The Candy Shop War is a series that is a must read—I’ve thoroughly enjo Honestly， this book shows just how far this series and has come。 In the first book and Arcade Catastrophe， I was pleased as a kid with the fun world Brandon created with the candy and at the arcade。 I was blown away as an adult with the ideas that Brandon came up with in Dreams and Screams International Carnival。 On top of that， the plot worked smoothly and kept me at the edge of my seat like I’ve never seen his work before。 The Candy Shop War is a series that is a must read—I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and am glad I got this “final” book on my birthday 😁 。。。more

Carnival QuestAt the close of their arcade adventure， Nate， Summer， Trevor， and Pidgeon were warned about Belinda and Jonas White’s remaining magical sister， Camilla。 Several months later， the Dreams and Screams International Carnival comes to town and odd things begin to happen。 People go missing， carnival patrons obsessively return， and outlandish items pop up around town。 However， any outside magic is blocked from the carnival’s premises。 Facing a new threat， John Dart enlists the Blue Falcon Carnival QuestAt the close of their arcade adventure， Nate， Summer， Trevor， and Pidgeon were warned about Belinda and Jonas White’s remaining magical sister， Camilla。 Several months later， the Dreams and Screams International Carnival comes to town and odd things begin to happen。 People go missing， carnival patrons obsessively return， and outlandish items pop up around town。 However， any outside magic is blocked from the carnival’s premises。 Facing a new threat， John Dart enlists the Blue Falcons again to find out if Camilla’s magic is behind the attraction。 The friends uncover that the carnival is stealing patrons’ dreams and using that power to expand the attraction at an insane rate。 As the carnival’s influence grows， both dreams and reality are at risk。 Nate， Summer， Trevor， and Pidgeon must use their past magical experiences and some new magic candy to save both the dream world and the real world before the carnival takes over both。After eleven years， Mull has delivered on his promise to write a final book to his Candy Shop War series。 And the wait is well worth it for both new and old fans of the series。 Using his incredible imagination， Mull unlocks another magical dimension where Nate， Summer， Trevor， and Pidgeon use their experience， courage， and determination to face off against a new magical threat。 But unlike previous adventures， some non-magical problems start to trickle into their close-knit group， like hitting puberty and vying for the friendship of their new famous classmate， YouTuber Zac Foster。 They all must decipher between what is real and what is fantasy when it comes to staying friends， facing personal fears， and working together to stop the carnival’s influence。 A thrilling， suspenseful， and colorful roller-coaster read sure to mesmerize and excite readers until the sweet finish。 Appropriate for ages twelve and up。 。。。more

I listened to the first book of the Candy Shop War series on audiobook right before reading this book。 I felt like with this book there was more themes that you could pull out from the book， which could be symbolic of the characters' growth from the adventures that they've had throughout the series。 My kids loved this book and both my 7-year-old and 9-year-old read it before I could read it to review it。 My 9-year-old can be a "selective" reader， so it was very telling when he picked it up right I listened to the first book of the Candy Shop War series on audiobook right before reading this book。 I felt like with this book there was more themes that you could pull out from the book， which could be symbolic of the characters' growth from the adventures that they've had throughout the series。 My kids loved this book and both my 7-year-old and 9-year-old read it before I could read it to review it。 My 9-year-old can be a "selective" reader， so it was very telling when he picked it up right away and wanted to read it。 My kids' loved the characters and the story。 After reading it， my 9-year-old asked when the next one was coming out and I had to tell him it was the last book of the series， and he was disappointed。 I liked that my kids were drawn to into the story and loved it so much。 I think my 9-year-old may have read it several times and it's a series you would want to own， so that kids could reread it over and over again。 They liked the action and how the story developed。 It was a very kid friendly story。 I loved the carnival aspect to this book and there's different levels of discussion that kids could have in a classroom setting with this book from friendships， dreams versus reality， who's in charge of your dreams， when does too much of one thing becomes too much， trusting your instincts versus imagination， and etc。 There is a wide range of characters and experiences shown from the book and I think it had a little bit of everything a kid could want in a story from amusement park rides， a mystery， adventure， scary clowns （just kidding on that one）， magical candy， talking animals， and kids saving the world。 The only part of the book that I didn't quite like was that one of the characters didn't seem to learn the lesson from the first book of this series， which seemed like a major theme throughout the book。 I also felt like this was a good wrap up to the series and touched on some points made from the first and second books。 Overall， I think it hits the mark as an excellent read。Please note that I received a free copy to review， however， this is my honest opinion。 。。。more
