The Secret of the Sweet Treats Kingdom by Sheri Williams is the first book in The Board Game Chronicles. It is the story of Amber and Ava, two sisters with regular lives. Amber, the older sister, is not pleased with the fact that she has to miss her best friend’s birthday party to watch over Ava. Things get worse as her little sister teases her for repeatedly losing the Sweet Treats board game. In a rage, Amber destroys the board, unintentionally causing a strange vortex to transport them to the Kingdom of Sweet Treats. Ava, believed to be the “Golden One” by the kingdom’s people, is abducted right away by the evil queen, whose spell she is meant to break according to the legends. With no clue and limited help, it is up to Amber to rescue her little sister and return home safely.
Sheri Williams’ The Secret of the Sweet Treats Kingdom is an amazing 'treat.' I picked up the book, lured by the fascinating title and synopsis, and I was not disappointed at all. Young readers are bound to be delighted by the kingdom of sweets. Sheri has done a beautiful job of portraying the bittersweet relationship between the two sisters. I believe this is something children with siblings will be able to relate to. The way Amber’s views on her family shift by the end of the story is beautiful indeed, and it successfully reflects the theme of the plot. I would recommend this book to children aged six to eight.
