The Pinkaboos (#1)


This is a lot of fun! I have a certain affection for books aimed at the 7-11 age group when they are well-written, The Pinkaboos is a fun series about a school for frights. Each fright will one day find their little girl and from then on they must protect her in dreams. Bitterly is the first to get a little girl, whose fear is giants. Bitterly learns how to teach her girl, Molly, to turn the tables on the giant and scare him! Belladonna if having her own problem with a school bully when she becomes the next student to get a little girl. And then the book leaves us hanging onto a cliff edge waiting for book 2. The art is an adorable mixture of gloom, goth and shades of bright pink! Loved it!

The Pinkaboos (#2)


Book Two is even better than the first. A great story in itself but also establishing a wider ongoing story. All the frights have now been assigned little girls, except poor Wither who has been told she's not ready yet. This is the type of fright that Vex is looking for. The school bully in the first book, she's now dropped out of school and opening her own to train frights to be nightmares. Most of the action centres around the Pinkaboos helping Belladonna with her little girl who dreams of ghosts but has Vex crashing her dreams to make them even worse. The book ends on a cliffhanger. I love the creepy art done in various shades of pink!
