The Scepter, the Serpent, & the Rainbow King: Popop's Magic Garden

The Popop's Magic Garden series is intended to be a bridge from picture books to chapter books. Books without pictures. Stories that are creative and imaginative enough to hold the attention of a 4-year-old when read aloud, but also simple enough that a 2nd to 4th grader may enjoy reading on their own while still containing some vocabulary that will challenge them. In the third magical adventure of the Popop’s Magic Garden series, King Laughing Stalk is determined to be the most exciting, most vibrant ruler in all of Rainbow Land—and he’s convinced that the Scepter of Vibrance will make him just that. But when Popop, Nini, Addie, and Elsie agree to help retrieve the legendary scepter, they soon realize that the king’s obsession might cost Rainbow Land its magic. Join the family on their thrilling quest as they navigate the mysterious Forest of Forgotten Fables, where the unfinished story of Joltin' Jack takes a surprising turn. Then, it’s on to the Fields of Forgetfulness, where they team up with Nuzzlefang, a furry serpent who dreams of walking on four legs. With every step, the adventure grows more dangerous as they climb the treacherous Mundane Mountain to recover the dazzling Scepter of Vibrance. But when the king finally grasps the scepter, something goes terribly wrong. Rainbow Land begins to fade, and the family must uncover the true magic that has the power to save the kingdom—before it’s too late. Filled with unforgettable characters, magical creatures, and a heartwarming message about embracing who you truly are, The Scepter, the Serpent, and the Rainbow King reminds us all that the magic that matters most is already within you.
