The Magic Day (Sparkleton #1)
by Calliope Glass (Author) Hollie Mengert (Illustrator)
A shaggy purple unicorn does everything he can--except his homework--to get wish-granting powers in the first book of this glitterrific, highly illustrated early chapter book series.
Sparkleton begs his big sister to give him wish-granting magic for one whole day so he can prove what a glitteriffic wish-granting unicorn he can be. But all the wishes he grants come out opposite! Can Sparkleton's friends Willow and Gabe help him undo the magic before sunset? Or will every day be opposite day?
With short, fast-paced books, art on every page, and milestone markers at the end of every chapter, they're the perfect next step for fans of I Can Read!

Gr 1-3--All little purple Sparkleton wants is wish-granting magic; his sister Nella has it, as does most of his family. He hasn't grown into his magic yet, but he knows he would be awesome at granting wishes! When Nella grants him one wish, he wishes for wish-granting abilities for one day. It might be a terrible idea, Nella warns, but she does it anyway. What follows is an enjoyable and upside-down enchanted journey through Sparkleton's day as he goes around granting his friends' wishes--sort of. Will Sparkleton learn the most important rule of magic-- that it's to make others happy--before the day is over? VERDICT With adorable graphics and encouraging unicorns at the end of the chapters, Sparkleton is about to take elementary libraries by (glittery) storm.--Amanda C.
