GOODREADS SUMMARY
On her eleventh birthday, Halo Nightly receives a mysterious collection of candy jars from her Aunt Pandora. The sweet treats inside fuel her with the powers of fire, water, earth, and air! As the world’s newest sugar hero, Halo must defeat the evil sour-villains who threaten to rid the world of fun and flavor!
REVIEW
Can you say SWEET? Tales of a Sugar Hero screams SWEET loud and proud with pages of candy goodness. I love the idea of magical candies giving an ordinary girl power over the elements.
This graphic novel is filled with fantastic illustrations that tell a story of their own. So much time must have gone into these illustrations and they enhanced my reading experience. The scenes really did come to life – even as an eBook. I felt as though I was reading a girlie version of a comic book and I loved it.
Halo, the eleven-year-old girl who inherits the sugar powers, uses her powers for good. There is a clear message of good vs evil, just like the classic super heroes. I really enjoyed the way Halo creatively defeated her enemies and upheld the tradition of her sugar glory.

COVER COMMENTS
Bright and colorful is the perfect fit for Tales of a Sugar Hero. I like the big bubble letters for the title.
