You will have fun reading this exciting book. My favorite part was when Violet Beaurgarde turned into a blueberry. I like that part because it was really funny, exiting, and dazzling. You may want to read this book if you like chocolate, love to laugh and want some excitement. Bibliography • reader2.com
