I think that The Evil Echo is a great book because they are fighting of a boy named Cody and Echo pretended to be Halo and Halo got in trouble so Echo used Halos powers to fight Halo and then Cody asked Halo to buy her a soda.

Halo Nightly is Princess Candy. She takes special candies her grandmother makes and they give her special powers. We don't really get to know Princess Candy much in this story as the Evil Echo who is a shapeshifter turns herself into PC and steals her candy thus imitating her everywhere, getting the real PC into trouble. The bad guy steals the show in this book. I can't say I'm crazy about this one. Candy giving powers? A bit lame in this day and age and it jumped from scene to scene too quickly. I also wasn't impressed with the art much, same sort of stuff you see on TV, but the noses really irritated me with their strange shapes. Well, enough. I didn't really like it. The book is intended for little girls 8-10 so perhaps some of them may take to it better than I.

A first graphic novel. Personally, I didn't enjoy it. I thought the story was kind of flat and bland. On that note, I can see why kids would enjoy it. The illustrations were unbelievable, not only with how sharp they were, but the colors. I could see kids thinking this was a pretty cool book.

I hope they make more of these books. But since they are a few years old I doubt. They are a fun young graphic novel. Vibrant colors and a great story.

Completely silly but engaging. This will appeal to young princess fans who are ready for something more wordy than readers!

Flashy and fun, but pretty empty. Adequate, but I think it could have been done much better--both simpler and more substantial.

It was awesome and cool. Princess Candy was so funny. I loved the book, even the cover looks so cool. It was so funny when princess candy said "grandma!".
