Read this story and find out!
This book is great because it is full of surprises and made me laugh. I was always excited to read about Caroline and Hilary's next adventure. My favorite part was when the girls tricked two boys who were teasing them about a snowman. Hilary used her magic to make the boys slide and fall in the snow. The boys were so confused! Caroline and Hilary were a great team and had so much fun together. That made reading the story fun too!
I definitely recommend this book. It ws so fun to read and talk about with my friends. If you like humorous, adventureous, make-believe stories, you'll love this one!
