This story starts right up where the first book, BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale, left off, or very soon after.
This tale was not quite as fun and more scary (for me) than the first book because rather than the children from our world going to another world, characters from that world are now visiting our world and so for me some of the enchantment was lacking except in certain places, and the scary stuff is right in our everyday world, and the specifics of that scary material was my least favorite p...more

In HEADACHE: The Hair-Raising Sequel to BELLYACHE, Crystal Marcos once again lures readers with her imagination and creativity.
Peter and Lina's adventure with the Candonites continues only this time the Candonite children, Joe and Angela, have been transported to Peter's world. Joe and Anglea end up in Peter's grandfather's candy store and are alarmed to see the miniature edible versions of themselves. Once they realize where they are they create disguises and set out to search for Peter. They...more
Headache is a wonderful sequel to Bellyache, carrying over the main characters Peter and Lina and having them encounter the evil villian Goaltan and his minions, known as the Peblars. But this time instead of Peter and Lina traveling to another world filled with Candonite children from Maple Town, that world seems to come to them bringing with it the villian Peter and Lina barely escaped from in Bellyache. Now, their world is endangered from Goaltan as he tries to destroy all the sweet shops in...more

Thiswas acute, adventurous children story. Although I haven't read the first book to this sequel, it provided a glimpse to the generality of what went on. Which was, Peter and Lina were transported to a fantasy candy land called,Maple Town, where they meet and befriend Candonite characters. Theyhad an adventurous experience there.They later return back home. Unbeknownst to Peter and Lina,a couple of their Candonite friends, Joe and Angela, got transportedtoo including the evil Goaltan and his mi...more

What a sweeeet read!!!
Anyone who hasn't read BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale, needs to get a hold of that book and follow that up with HEADACHE!
Headache picked up right where Bellyache ended, and throughout the pages everything is tied together so wonderfully - you'd think they were written together. As the second book, this continues the tale of Peter and his friend Lina and their adventures with the candonite people. Who are the Candonites you ask? People made out of candyyyyy...need I say more!...more

Age Group
Headache is awesome, I can say I liked it better than the first so the age group is 6 and up.
Cover Art
I love the cover art in fact when I asked my kids what they thought they said so many fun things. I ask them usually before we start reading based on the cover art what this book is going to be about, they came up with some great guesses based on Bellyache the first in this series. Favorite part about the cover was the hair.

My granddaughter enjoyed this book and the author was kind enough to include her previous book in the series as well. Recommend Crystal Marcos' web page too. Fun for young readers and writers.
I adored Bellyache and was delighted when Crystal Marcos offered to send me a copy of Headache, book two, for review when it came out. With the craziness of finals and then getting sick twice in the same month, I wasn't able to get to Headache until now (sad face).
I cannot express enough how delightful the Bellyache books are. From the first book, Peter and Lina captured my heart with their brave souls and willingness to go into the heart of danger and evil in order to save their Candonite frien...more

Headache ~ The Hair-Raising Sequel by Crystal Marcos is highly recommend for those children who love to use their imagination! I have not read Bellyache, but after reading Headache I would not hesitate to read Bellyache.
The story Headache takes place on earth despite the main characters being aliens, which are sweets. No I don't mean sweet as in cool or awesome. I mean sweets as in gum-drops and cup-cakes! LOL! Now for me it took a while to wrap my head around these walking around and talking in...more

Peter has just returned from an amazing adventure, and things are now back to normal. Or are they? As Peter heads off to school for an uneventful day, he has no idea the Candonite children Joe and Angela have followed him to his home town, and they aren't the only ones to show up! The adventure continues as the villain they thought they had escaped and hoped to never see again has come to their home town.

Headache the Hair-Raising Sequel to Bellyache is a wonderful tale of facing your fears and working together. In this second installment we watch Peter and Lina develop courage to defeat the evil Goaltan drawing on the knowledge and lessons they have learned on their trip to Maple town, along with Nana's memories of her visit to Honeyville. I absolutely love the imagery in this book. I wish I could visit the toy shop, to play around in edible foam, ride one floor up on a pogo stick and sit at a g...more
Headache.
I haven’t read the first book in this series and perhaps that is why I found this children’s book wanting. The Candonite children, that showed so much promise, where sidelined and played no part in this tale.
The book was sold as funny and scary, it fell down on the first of these two for me, I’m no child, but I write children’s books and I don’t think this one hits the mark. It is well written and I hope I’m wrong and the story is liked by kids, but this one wasn’t for me.

Crystal's sequel to Bellyache is another great book for children and adults. When the evil Goaltan attacks all the sweet shops in town, who wouldn't throw a fit. Me, for one. But luckily the chilren come to the rescue and learn the secret to why Goaltan is so mean. The story leaves a great message why some people/things are mean and tempermental. Children (and adults) of any age will enjoy both of her books. They have great characters and imaginative settings.
A sweet read!
Again, I read a book out of sequence.
It took me a few pages to figure out what was going on and would have been better in sequence. Once the story was under way and I had a firm grip on the candy children and how they came to be in our world it was a fun read.

A great sequel! What more can I say - Both BELLYACHE and HEADACHE are clever and interesting books about two separate worlds. I'm sure any YA would love to read this, as well as being great books to read to youngsters who not quite up to the level of reading ability to read this for themselves.
I would be very interested to read more works from this author.

reviewed by my grandson Derek (age 7). He LOVED both Bellyache & Headache!!! Further remarks on Bellyache review!!! Thanks again Crystal for the lovely books!!!!!
It was even better than the first book (Bellyache)AND I really LOVED Bellyache!!
Another enjoyable read by Crystal Marcos. This book was a very interesting follow-up to Bellyache. I didn't find it as engaging however. This is probably due to the fact that the uniqueness of the story concept is gone. I still found it enjoyable,interesting, and well worth the time spent reading.
