Okay read, definitely not my favorite PJ Masks story.
The book is based on the show, but because it is a Level One book, it's kind of choppy and confusing. I don't understand the whole Giving Owl thing. It's supposed to teach that giving things to others feels good, but the message gets kind of muddled in the simplicity of the book.
Luna Girl ends up stealing the statue and Owlette understandably wants it back, because giving someone something and having someone steal something from you are two different things, right? I was kind of confused why Gekko and Catboy wanted Owlette to just let Luna Girl steal the statue. Way to reinforce villains taking whatever they want? It makes sense for Owlette to give Luna Girl the statue at the end, but it didn't seem right to want to let her steal it.
There's probably an important lesson somewhere in this mess, but it gets really confusing. Good pictures for PJ Masks fans, but I would pass this up for any of the other PJ Masks titles.

When the PJ Masks realise that someone has stolen all the show-and-tell items from school, they race into action. It does not take long for them to determine that Luna Girl has been up to her old tricks, using her moths to lift items right out of the school. However, when Luna Girl sees the owl statue, she is willing to return everything so that she had have this prized possession. Owlette takes exception to this and will not agree to Luna Girl's terms. When PJ Masks make their way to the Luna Lair, they find the statue and it takes everything in her power for Owlette not to show her greedy side. Sometimes heroes have to make the sacrifices. Neo enjoys PJ Masks and this was a great way for him to get into a weekend of reading. We'll keep reading more of these stories, as the library had a pile of Level 1 and 2 books in this series. Brace yourselves, everyone!
