In Jennifer Nielsen's follow-up to Elliot and the Goblin War, Elliot Penster must once again prove himself worthy of his title, King of the Brownies.
Written with in the same silly and lighthearted style, Elliot and the Pixie Plot brings back several characters besides Elliot, including: Fudd Fartwick, Patches, Grissel, Mr. Willimaker, Tubs and Elliot's entire family. The story also introduces a few new characters including: the shapeshifter - Harold; the evil demon - Kovol; a pixie princess name...more

As the second one in this series, this title is funny and fiesty like the first one. This time Elliot, now crowned King of the Brownies, has been paired up with Cambria on a science fair project, much to his dismay. However, before they can get very far, Elliot is approached by Mr. Willimaker who demands that Elliot release Grissel the Goblin, except that Mr. Willimaker doesn't seem like Mr. Willimaker. The next thing you know, Tubs and Elliot get "fairied" to the underworld. Elliot, wanting to...more
Have I mentioned how much I seriously love this growing series? If I haven't, permit me a moment to gush. Book 1 was fabulous, a reading gem to enjoy in beauty and form, and a wonderful addition to the children's literature arena. With its creative storyline, wonderful narrative style and illustrations to add just enough of a visual, the overall picture was one to behold.
When I heard book 2 was coming out, I pounced...well, not literally, but as soon as I saw it arrive in store, I had to read it...more

I have not read the first book in the series, but I found this book easy to read and follow. Jennifer keeps the action going in this book. I enjoyed the humor that flowed from one silly obstacle to the next as Elliot tries to meet the demands of the angry Pixies. This is a fun book to read and hard to put down, a real page turner. I enjoyed the Gripping Mud, surprisingly tasty turnip juice and a tingly invisibility potion gone wrong. Along the way in the journey Elliot learns how to navigate som...more
- The chapter names are fun.
- The story happens a few weeks after the first one ends.
- The "no pixies were hurt in the making of this book" bit at the front made me laugh.
- The wit and banter is really funny.
- All the stuff I liked in the first book are in this one. (Examples: Author talking to the reader, Illustrations, and Humor)
- I like that Elliot missed his family while he was away. His family is far from perfect, but it is his, and he missed them.
- Fun characters and fun story.

Jennifer has turned out another fun book. I love that it picks up shortly after the first book ended. Again it is whimsical with enough seriousness and unexpected turns of events to keep me interested. Again she did a great job with the voice and those random bits of useless pieces of information. I especially loved how the science project becomes a major part of the story.
These are such fun books! Jennifer A. Nielsen keeps the narrative humorous, and Elliot is so likable. The comic danger keeps readers at the edge of their seats. I am looking forward to more adventures with Elliot.

Darling second book in this series. My son and I can't wait to start the third! We love reading it out loud.
cheesy rip off of the Spiderwick chronicles. short and rather boring.
Loved it as much as the first and so did my students.
it was totally awesome

Another fun, wacky, exciting book from the author. Kids should really enjoy the craziness!
The characterization is great, and I think Lemony Snickett fans will like this book. It is much more upbeat, which I liked.

She is a former speech teacher, theater director, and enjoyed a brief but disastrous career as a door-to-door pollster. In her spare time, Jennifer tends to panic, wondering what she has f...more
