Aster's magical adventures continue in this sequel. This time, the mysterious and vengeful sheep that have been hiding from the villagers start causing trouble by sabotaging the village. Why are the sheep so angry? This adventure is fun and action packed, just like the first one. I love this series! ( )

"Saving the town from a bureaucratic talking ram and his army of rebellious sheep requires Aster to let [her older brother] Reed in on her secret, and seek help from her classmates and neighbors. Later, Aster explores a magical realm and continues her epic battle of wits against the valley's trickster spirit." -SLJ ( )

I like the ongoing lore with the seasons and the magical animal friends, but all the stories felt like they were dragging to me. I think the series may be done for now, but the open ending leaves room for more adventures. ( )
