The Christmas Carousel by K.L. SmallMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is such a sweet series that young readers can enjoy reading independently or having it read to them. Rusty's grandpa gave him a brass ring awhile back that takes them on magical adventures when it is used while riding the carousel. This time, the carousel is the Christmas carousel in the mall as the one in the park is closed for the season. Rusty has his heart set on a specific gift for Grandpa but it's a bit out of his price range. It's during his carousel adventures that Rusty learns the best gift to give Grandpa.
This book does address elderly aging and Alzheimer's. It would be a good way to introduce a young mind to this issue should it be something they should be exposed to.
This is the second book in a series and could be read as a standalone. However, you will miss out on a lot of adventures from the previous story, along with a much more detailed background.
I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading about the Haunted Carousel coming in 2024!!
