The title is so promising, but I was disappointed overall. I didn't get as attached to the characters as I'd like, but the talking animals, and awesome adventures made it worth the read.
The Nutshell: Despite the fact that my review makes it seem I didn't like The Whizz Pop Chocolate Shop it was a cute, quick read.
Not to mention the romp around town with a giant cat. There's everything from scuba-diving to cave dwelling to helicopter rides. The adventures Oz and Lily get to go on are pretty great. The stories are imaginative and entertaining, yes, I just hoped it would have a bigger part in the present. Most of the use of magic chocolate happened in the past, so it's just stories about magic chocolate instead of first-hand experience. I liked the story overall, but I'd been hoping for more magic chocolate. Plus, I know she's eleven, but Lily's constant need to cry started to get to me. So, while enjoyed them, I feel like I didn't really get to know them and couldn't care about what happened to them all too much. I enjoyed the characters, but it felt like I didn't really get past the surface with most of them. I mean, sure, things end up pretty well, but I just kept thinking about how this character killed in cold blood. If there is, then I'm totally missing it or forgetting it so it surprised me. It seems to me there's not a lot of murder in middle grade.
