Life isn't complete without a little something sweet. This treat of a book takes the reader in to a world full of colorful confectionaries, lollipop landscapes, and delightful desserts, all seen through the eyes of Polly, our brave and kind hero, who goes where no other girl has ever gone before. Accompanied by her trusty sidekick, Ella the mini elephant, Polly ventures out of her hometown of Sugar City to discover the world beyond her brownie borders, and the people she finds are in desperate need of her help!
Polly and Ella live in the magical world of Sugar City, where life is as sweet as the syrupy river that flow through the town. Polly spends her days creating the perfect desserts and making the people around her as happy as can be. Unfortunately, that's not the case everywhere. Right above Sugar City, high up on a cliff, is the boring Big Town, where no one knows how to live sweetly and an evil mayor by the name of Jimmy Gingerbean wants to keep all things fun to himself, like turning Big Town's park into his own private beach. Jimmy Gingerbean has a mountain of sand waiting for him and all he must do is win the election to carry on his evil plot. To the people of Big Town, Sugar City is just myth. That's not the case for Dash, a young and imaginative boy, who believes in the magic of Sugar City even though no one's ever been. If only he had a way to get there...
When Jimmy Gingerbean loses his election, his plans are foiled, and his mountain of sand is released off the cliff to the mysterious land below. Dash frets for the residents of Sugar City down below, but what he doesn't realize is a pathway has been created to the mysterious city below the clouds. Ella climbs up the mountain of sand and discovers Big Town. There, she introduces Dash and the other residents of Big Town to a healthy dose of fun. She even learns about a new dessert herself- ice cream cones! Together, Dash and Polly bring the citizens of Big Town to the lovely land below to partake in the merriment of Sugar City at the Sweetie Pie Festival. They bring joy to everyone and prepare for more adventures near and far.
This is a story every reader will love for its exploration of adventure, bravery, and friendship. Let yourself dive into a magical universe where life can be delightful and people with good hearts triumph over those with bitter intentions. This is a tale that teaches you to be open to exploring the world with an open mind, to search for sweetness even when things get tough, and to bring other people on your journey to joy.
