Uh-oh! The Trollz girls cast a powerful spell that turns their friend into a block of ice! How will they change him back?

Children's Literature

If these cartoons characters with the big eyes and crazy hairstyles appeal to you, then this reader might also. The Trollz all have charms and limited magical powers; however when they join together their powers are significantly increased. The result is that one of the boys that Amethyst likes accidentally becomes a block of ice when the girls try casting a spell to make him "cool," as in not a klutz. They have a mild adventure trying to find out how to undo the spell and finally succeed. The solution will be no surprise to adult readers but it may be to kids just learning to read. The commercialism is pretty obvious—readers are offered fifty Trollars to spend on Trollz.com just for reading the book. A marginal purchase —Level 2 reader in the "Scholastic Reader" series.
