I won a kindle version #GoodreadsGiveaway ( ) The Great Sugar War stands alone as a fun middle-grade modern fairytale, and connects pleasingly with the author’s earlier Land Without Color. Not a sequel. Not strictly a prequel. But a story in the same land involving a member of the same family, a pleasingly zany tale, and a nicely thought-provoking one. As the kingdoms of Color and Shapes take aim at each other in an everlasting war. Talking grasshoppers and lions might be reminiscent of Narnia, but this is a whole new world and a whole new story. Just don’t eat anything too sugary while you read. A fun, fast, modern tale with an interesting protagonist and great characters, plus food for thought (which surely is better than sugar)… a good read for middle-grade readers, and especially for boys. Disclosure: I was asked to look for this, found it on a deal, and enjoyed it. no reviews | add a review
