Violet, Age 7 thinks Aziza is fantastic, she says: “It is an unpredictable story and the characters were funny, kind and curious except for the Gigglers, who were rather annoying with their mean tricks. Anyone who likes fairies, unicorns and shapeshifting bears will love Shimmerton. My favourite part was when Felly, Kendra and Noon threw slime at Aziza, Tiko and Peri.”
