The newest Isadora Moon and this time we are going to the amazing Frost Festival!!

It was thankfully still quite cold when I read this so the book still fitted (I read this one late February). While reading winter books in the summer is fun for some cold feelings, I much rather read books fitting to the season. But the library only just added it to their collection otherwise I would have read it in November/December. In this delightful and fun book Isadora goes to her uncle/aunt (along with her dad/mom/baby sister). These two live in a much colder part of the world, which is a good thing because the aunt is a fairy of winter/snow. It is almost time for Frost Festival and Isadora and her family are invited to come along. I was totally hyped because I love these kind of festivals. I want to be part of it. So once again, can someone just make a book-transporter? That way I can just pop by and enjoy everything. I mean the festival just sounded so fun and I want to not just read about it but also go to it for reals. There are hot chocolate stands with the wildest creations and I want to try them all so I will make sure to have an empty stomach, there is other food (yum), and there are other stands with a lot of creative stuff and other fun things (I need that hat and I want a wood work creation). It was a delight to be alongside Isadora and see the festivities.

Of course, it isn’t just glitter and glamour. Isadora is still too good for this world and forgets everything when she sees someone in need. In this case a fairy whose task it is to put the star on the big tree (and add some razzle dazzle), but she lost the star! I loved that Isadora helped her out and immediately went full detective mode, but something in me wanted to stop her and have her at least tell her family.

Oh, and I just adored that Isadora’s sister is truly growing up. I have read many books/comics in which the little one stays little. So it was so fun to read that her little sister is now learning to fly! So sweet!

The illustrations are always so charming and I love their style. They always make me happy.

But the dad is getting more and more on my nerves. He mostly just acts like a brother rather than a father. He is spoiled. He doesn’t listen. He doesn’t want to eat anything that isn’t red (but can, just like kids do, be fooled into eating something by just changing it a bit). He whines. People have to leave him so he may cooperate and see the light. Very disappointing. Especially since I know that he can really be a sweet and kind guy and I love the moments with him and Isadora. I would love to see these times more. Oh, and the end of this book. LORD, that is just so dumb of him.

But despite the dad, I have enjoyed this book greatly. The story was just so much fun. I would recommend this book to all and I am looking forward to Isadora’s next story!
