The triplets get charmed Review:

“The Triplets Get Charmed” is the first book in the “Trillium Sisters” series and was adorable.

The series, in general, is the perfect middle-grade chapter book to get young readers to read. The story comprises three charming sisters, Emmy, Giselle, and Clare, and how they discover their newfound powers. I liked how the author portrayed all the three characters and the bond they share. There’s friendship, magic, family bond, cute animals, and an exciting story that would keep the readers engaged. Moreover, I enjoyed the concept of mini-mals and how they use their charms creatively as jewelry. There is never a dull moment in the story as the three girls always find themselves busy with activity.

Moreover, I liked the smaller moments of how the girls think about the good parts and try to be positive, even if things didn’t work out the way they planned. The second half of the book is the highlight once we find Zee in the railing, and hard to put the book down.

Similarly, the illustrations are beautiful and complement the book so well. I particularly loved the pictures in the second half, where all the adventure takes place around Zee. Sarah Mensinga did an excellent job with the illustrations, and I loved how expressive the characters are in the drawings.

Perhaps the only downside to the story is how there is no background as to why they have these powers. There is quite a lot in this short book, but I guess we have to wait for future novels in the series to find out why it does.

Overall, “The Triplets get Charmed” is a lovely start to the series and would be a great addition to a middle-graders book collection.
