Elliott attends his third-grade class like any other boy, except that Elliott isn’t like any other boy. Endowed with magical powers, Elliott belongs to a secret world called Moonstone—and trouble is brewing. When the evil witch Noir steals The Halloween Crystal, it’s up to Elliott and his third-grade teacher, Mr. Moonbeam, to stop Noir from invading the non-magical world on Halloween night. But can Elliott learn to master his powers in time?

My Thoughts

This suspenseful story is fun mixed with mystical spookiness. I don’t believe it’s too much to scare a child. Add a healthy serving of magic coupled with friendship and you have a great storyline. The plot is well thought out and the fantasy world has been done fabulously. Elliott is our main character who grows considerably throughout the book. I wish I had a teacher like his – kids are sure to treasure Sloan Moonbeam! A great feature is the thirty-one chapters, perfect to read one a night with your littles. A seasoned editor would add another star.
