Book Summary
The long-awaited finale of the best-selling series!
The Blue Falcons is a secret kid’s club that fights against a family of villainous magicians. Using an impressive arsenal of magical candy, Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pigeon defeated Belinda White, a sinister candy shop owner who almost seized control of their town, and her brother, Jonas White, a maniacal arcade operator who tried to turn the planet into his personal puppet. Now, the Blue Falcons believe they must battle the third sibling—Camilla, who has brought the Dreams and Screams International Carnival to their town of Colson, California. Rumors are spreading about the new carnival. Those who visit feel compelled to return. Some who enter the labyrinthine Fun House disappear for days. And the Big Top is said to bewitch audience members. The Blue Falcons think they know who is responsible and are ready to fight, but the carnival blocks any outside magic. Without their favorite enchanted treats, how can the kids save their town? When weird dreams start to plague everyone who has visited the carnival, the worlds of magic and reality collide. With the help of a new magical enforcer, the Blue Falcons will need to learn to use the magic of the carnival against itself, including a host of new magical carnival candies, and tap into the power of their own dreams to battle their greatest adversary yet.

My Review
I always love when I read the final book in a series and things are wrapped up well. It had been a few years since I'd read the second Candy Shop Wars series book. Carnival Quest was just as colorful, bright, and exciting as the first two books. After a few chapters, it all came back and I remembered why I loved this series and the characters found within the pages.
There were more fantastical mysteries and adventures to be found within the walls of the new carnival aptly named "The Dreams and Screams Carnival" that came to the town of Colson, California. I loved all of the various places you could visit at the carnival. Of course, the magical candy is back propelling Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pigeon into more shocking and creepy (Way too many clowns in this book LOL!) situations as they explore why the "Dreams and Screams" carnival got its name.
Fans of Brandon Mull and this series will enjoy reading this adventure book. Mull has a magical way of bringing to life his imaginary worlds where you become fully immersed in his dream world of great adventure and fun.
