The Shop of Impossible Ice Creams: Perilous Pineapple Plot: Book 3 by Shane Hegarty
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Shop of Impossible Ice Creams: Perilous Pineapple Plot (164 pages)
This is a children’s book suitable for confident readers aged between 7 and 9 years old and above. The main characters are around ten years old and live in a fictional town with descriptions and language that suggest it is based on an English town.
There is plenty for readers to enjoy: water pistols, ice-cream, annoying siblings, magical gardens and good friendships. The story is sprinkled with black and white illustrations.
The story is fast-paced and easy to read with short chapters. This is book #3 of a series but the story can easily be read without reading previous books.

Welcome to the Shop of Impossible Ice Creams! Step inside to discover a delicious world of magical adventure, from bestselling author Shane Hegarty. Third in a comic, heart-warming illustrated series, for 7+ readers.
It’s the Festival of Pirates in Splottpool, and Limpet is looking after his evil little sister, Eve, whilst his mum helps out with the festival.
Mrs Cricket has also asked the kids to mind the fairy garden in the middle of the roundabout while she goes away for a week – to avoid all the piratey chaos.
Trouble is brewing as they discover Mr Fluffy’s super-healthy sister has opened a smoothie palace, whose healthy fruit smoothies seem to have amazingly magical effects on the customers.
But not all is as it seems with the super healthy smoothies and it’s up to Limpet to save the day, the shop – and even his evil little sister – if he must.
