SUPER HAPPY MAGIC FOREST
For Where’s Waldo? graduates who are ready for heavy-duty irony.
In the full-color world of Super Happy Magic Forest, everyone recognizes what evil looks like…or do they?
This over-the-top happy place with fun, dancing, and picnics every day maintains its positive energy because of three Mystical Crystals of Life. After a two-sentence exposition, readers learn that someone has stolen the crystals, throwing all the forest inhabitants into panic. The five bravest warriors, including the reluctant Blossom, a unicorn, and Trevor, a red-and-white mushroom, go in search of the culprit, only to find in the end that their arduous journey has been for naught. In this debut picture book, Long fills nearly every page with details that will keep young readers engaged and interested: a penguin distraught over losing the frying pan it evidently uses as a cudgel, a gravestone bearing the name of one of the warriors, a headless skeleton preparing to decapitate the clueless Blossom. Some pages will remind readers of the Smurfs’ village—another superhappy place—while others seem to take a page from video game journeys, with many twists and turns. In the end, though, this book that exudes youthfulness and joy delivers quite a cynical message: sometimes those in whom we’ve placed the most trust can betray us. And when they do, they should expect a comeuppance sans mercy.
For Where’s Waldo? graduates who are ready for heavy-duty irony. (Picture book. 8-10)

Reviews for "Mastering the Art of Magic Nails: Insider Tips from the Pros"
1. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Magic Nails. The salon was dirty and lacked proper hygiene. The staff seemed disinterested and rushed through my manicure. The end result was far from satisfactory; my nails were unevenly filed and the polish was streaky. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality nail service.
2. Jessica - 2 out of 5 stars - I had high hopes for Magic Nails based on the reviews, but my visit was a letdown. The staff was not welcoming or friendly, and the overall ambiance of the salon was uninviting. The technician who worked on my nails seemed inexperienced and struggled to apply the polish smoothly. I left with chipped nails within a couple of days. I expected more from a place called Magic Nails.
3. David - 1 out of 5 stars - My experience at Magic Nails was a total disaster. The salon was understaffed, which resulted in a long wait time. When it was finally my turn, the technician rushed through my nail service, causing me to feel like just another customer on an assembly line. The quality of the manicure was appalling; the polish chipped the next day, and the shape of my nails was uneven. Save your money and go elsewhere for a better nail experience.
4. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars - The service at Magic Nails was mediocre at best. The staff seemed disorganized and lacked attention to detail. My nail technician didn't listen to what I wanted and ended up filing my nails too short. The polish application was rushed, resulting in a messy and uneven finish. Overall, I was disappointed with the overall experience and won't be returning to Magic Nails in the future.
