![]() ![]() ![]() Luckily the second story just keeps going and thus I could enjoy it a lot more and wasn’t as much confused as I was at the beginning.Īnd the story was great fun, the contests, the making of food, Strawberry’s friends who cheered for her and were there for her when she needed them. I knew I just had to try it out and see if it was still as fun.Īnd was it? Yes, definitely! It was a bit confusing, especially with how the first story connected with the second one (the first one is about the anniversary of the cafe, while the second one takes places weeks/months afterwards (considering the hair colour of Strawberry) and is all about the contest and the Purple Pieman). I used to be a big fan of Strawberry Shortcake, though it has been years and years since I last saw something about her, so imagine my delight when I saw this comic on Netgalley. I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. Note: I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, from the publisher. It's a nice re-introduction to Strawberry and her friends and I look forward to picking up more of the volumes in this series when I have the opportunity. I think kids will enjoy the bright artwork and the easy flow of the story here. This was a fun, sweet story and I'm glad that I had the chance to read it. Will she win? Well, you'll have to read it to find out. They'll have to put the pieces together as Strawberry uses her expertise to compete under the watchful eye of judges AND social media in the midst of a highly watched and highly prized bake off. The competition has its ups and downs, with mysterious interventions challenging Strawberry and her friends though the competition. What better way to raise money and get exposure for the Berry Cafe than to compete in a major competition in Big Apple City! (Hence, where were get the Purple Pieman coming into the picture.) And given the breakdown of a ride needing repair, the group is tasked to raise funds. To start, Strawberry Shortcake and her friends have to deal with some mishaps and mayhem at the Berry Cafe with respect to an upcoming anniversary party. ![]() And considering the Purple Pieman is a recurring, important "villain" in the series, it was nice to see this fresh take on the series in a modern measure, complete with social media and other references. It was nice to be able to see the character and world in this soft reboot/following that takes more from the later iterations of the series. I grew up with the American Greetings-style, TV-special episode versions of Strawberry Shortcake in my generation, but I've at least been aware of the reboots this character, cast, and realm has had over the years. Admittedly, when Strawberry Shortcake returned to comics back in 2016, I somehow forgot that I had this as a galley. Well this was absolutely adorable, and a nice jumping point to reintroduce Strawberry Shortcake and the world of the Berrykins to comic form. ![]()
