The Starlight Slippers by Susan Maupin Schmid

3.0

Cute and fun as always! Thanks to a long break between reading the previous book and picking up this one (the library system was just not stocking this book for some reason!), I forgot quite a few dangling plot threads, which made it hard to enjoy this book as much as I would have. Because unlike the first and second books in the series, this book doesn't have a self-contained plot. It's entirely a bridge between the last book and the next one. Sure, Dimple makes progress on a mystery from the last book, and there's a whole lot of panicking over what the starlight slippers might do, but in the end, there were a whole lot of words for nothing much important. The book suffered because of that. But I also enjoyed the large and colorful cast of characters, and how this series manages to keep up with such a large secondary cast and keep adding new ones without getting confusing.
