Piperlicious is a very cute, bubbly girl who gets to go to Hawaii with her family. She and her sister have a few adventures when they get there. They end up finding treasure. The illustrations are beautiful. So colorful and crisp. The story is cute for young kids.

Interesting and entertaining book! My 8 year old grandkids loved it. Excellent writing and illustrations.

I received an ebook ARC from Netgalley and this is my voluntary, honest review.

Cute and colorful book for little kids. The story sounds like it's made for toddlers but there's too much information for them to remember. But if it was made for a kid that can read, the story sounds too kiddy for them. I love the pictures and it's a cute story but the character's name is kinda weird though. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This story about a treasure hunt in Hawaii is interesting and fun, though, a bit winded. A young child may get bored by the minutia of details. The story could have contained less themes (i.e., winning a contest, traveling, secret friends, grandma’s talents, Hawaiian history, treasure hunts, treasure buried in plain sight, hulas, and luaus and more.)

Regardless of being a tad complicated, the illustrations in this mook are wonderful. They are fun and bright.

A sweet story for girls (and boys alike). Colourful pictures with a sweet story of a girl who wins a trip to Hawaii. Not so keen on the product placements in the book.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to see an arc.

This book was a bit hard to read in the format it was on but it was an okay book for younger children.

My daughter and I enjoyed this book so much. We liked the pictures and the story. We even got the other Piper books to read. It is just a fun read about an adventure.

A fun story to read along with kids.

The illustrations can be much more better for better reading experience. I wanted a more original story.

This is a cute book about a girl called Piperlicious who travels with her family to Hawaii, where she has a treasure hunting adventure. My daughter and I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the bright illustrations. She thought it was funny that some of the items around Piperlicious were alive and could talk, for example the suitcase. This book would be fun for any child.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Net Galley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

After winning a trip to Hawaii, Piper goes on a great adventure.It made me want to go to Hawaii! Overall, it was a good book, but kids might not understand the King and Queen of Hawaii if they do not have that prior knowledge.

A cute story for any girl that likes to explore. The book was good and fun. It took the child to a place and had an adventure.

Piperlicious is a young girl who loves travelling to new places. She wins a trip to Kauwela Palace in Hawaii with her family. Her sister Londyn, her grandmother Mimi and her small chimp friend Paz joins her on her journey. Her dream is to find the lost treasure that once belonged to the Royal Palace.

So her little team goes on a secret mission to find this treasure. She has also got a secret map to find the treasure. On their mission, they discover new places and have a lot of fun together. Will she find the lost treasure?

The illustrations are very alluring and the story is a enjoyable one. This is the third book in the Piperlicious series and I believe children will love the story. A very adventurous and fun story.

Thanks Netgalley for the review copy in exchange for my honest review.

I'm not sure about the main character's name or the idea of herself and her younger sister going off unsupervised, but clearly this is a pure fantasy story not remotely tied to reality, which then begs the question as to how it can highlight Hawaii's attractions when it's so disconnected. There also seemed to be a lot of convenient things falling improbably place: Piperlicious winning a vacation to the very place she wanted to go, and her effortless finding of the treasure.

The story was upbeat and fun, and the illustrations by Ashraf were cute, brightly colored, and satisfying, and Piperlicious's dedication her quest was quite admirable, but given how spoiled she seems to be and how easy everything is for her, I really don't see how I can commend this a worthy read.

I'd like a little more realism, even in a fantasy story. I have to wonder how Piperlicious would cope if she ever had a day when things didn't automatically and predictably go precisely the way she wants them to. I can't commend this for that reason. It just felt wrong and too 'lucky' when others are having a hard time, especially right now. This was too 'Disney Princess' for my taste.

This one just didn't appeal to me. The art wasn't bad, but the story was a bit too wordy. Not one I enjoyed reading and not one I could see holding my daughter being interested in.

The bright colors in the illustrations were very eye catching. I think it’s something little kids will definitely enjoy. The storyline was cute, and it was an easy read.

Piperlicious wins an all expense paid trip to Hawaii for a story she wrote. She is very excited to meet the King and Queen and accept her award. Piperlicious and her sister are so happy to arrive in Hawaii. They have a plan to find a secret treasure. They were able to find the treasure and the King was so happy that he gave her a crown and called her Princess Piperlicious and had a ball in her honor. Sweet story with very pretty, colorful illustrations.

Engaging story that the children (2 and 4) seemed to really enjoy.
The art work and colour was eye catching.
Definitely a book you can read over and over.

Its a cute book. The art is kinda cute, but I wasn't obsessed with it. It's a good book for little children who like treasure hunting. The book kinda appeared small on my screen and I was able to read it.
