Action-packed standout
Winnie and the Voodoo Trolls is an intriguing adventure for young readers ages 8-10. It follows Winnie to New Orleans, where she encounters a voodoo shop, trolls, and bombshells that stem from Cajun country culture and mystery.
From the start, JP Coman builds an intriguing atmosphere into the tale which opens with an unexpected family journey to a town where mother and father first dated. Trolls Adidas, Lazarus, and others tumble into the tale in the second chapter, with fun black and white line drawings by Maïlys Pitcher enhancing the feeling of fantasy adventure and the plot’s inherent attraction.
As the story evolves into a smuggling situation, both Winnie and these trolls assume center position in a delightful romp through New Orleans, magical powers, kidnapping scenarios, and evil enemies the gang must defeat.
Coman mixes family encounters and interactions with New Orleans culture and color to give the story’s progression and lively countenance. Dialogues and confrontations enrich the action. This creates a fun, unpredictable adventure that adds satisfyingly unexpected contrasts between human and troll cultures and concerns as the plot thickens.
Threads of humor also run in the bonus story between encounters with gremlins and other creatures, further enhancing the story’s fun and appeal.
Libraries and middle grade readers seeking fantasies embedded with strong family interactions, a sense of place, and voodoo transformations will welcome the lively pace and memorable characters that make Winnie and the Voodoo Trolls an action-packed standout.
