Eli is a moon elf who lives with her friends in an enchanted forest. When a baby rabbit falls on a sugar crystal and turns into hard candy, Eli and Luna, the baby’s mother, race against time to find the Hallowshine Dragon. It’s the Dragon’s tears causing the sugar crystals, and only the Dragon can save the baby rabbit from becoming hard candy forever.

The illustrations are super fab! I love the play of colors, the detailing, and the magical setting. The illustrator gave life to the story.

The story is a typical adventure that ends with a moral lesson. For me, it’s the illustrations that are a huge hit. Kids who love fairy tales will enjoy the book. I do wish the author creates a series for Eli and the enchanted land. The setting is superb, and the moon elf seems like a beautiful character to know.

There are a couple of typos and printing issues that created some confusion, but once I understood, the rest was beautiful.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Twenty Two House Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
