Bubble Gum Rocks follows three sisters spending a summer at their grandparents’ Kansas farm, where they stumble into the long-forgotten magic of bubble gum rocks. A single wish tossed into the old oak tree sparks something wild, leading to glowing storms, piles of magical rocks spilling from the tree, and even a mysterious old key that hints at deeper secrets beneath the farm. It’s a cozy little adventure wrapped in family love, wide open fields, and just enough mystery to keep you flipping pages.

The writing is warm and sweet. The author leans into nostalgia, and that really resonated with me. I loved how the girls each had such different personalities, and the farm felt alive in a simple, magical way. Some moments made me grin like an absolute goof, especially Ainsley’s little kid comments. Other parts gave me that warm feeling, the kind you get from stories about believing in something even when it seems silly.

I also liked how the story didn’t try to be complicated. It felt honest and heartfelt, and that made the magic feel even more real. I caught myself slowing down just to soak in the little details, like the glowing storm, the cracked oak tree, and all the colorful rocks pouring out in the morning sun. And the ending with the key in Avianna’s pocket left me smiling and kind of excited for whatever comes next. It has that “there’s more out there” feeling, and I’m a total sucker for that.

The illustrations feel warm and homey. The soft, sketch–style lines and gentle shading give everything a nostalgic, storybook charm. The attention to detail makes the scenes feel lived-in and loved, adding to the book’s overall sense of family, comfort, and simple magic.

This children’s book would be perfect for kids who love gentle mysteries, magical adventures, and stories that celebrate family. It’s also great for adults who want a cozy read that makes them feel like a kid again. If you enjoy warmhearted magic with a whole lot of charm, this children’s chapter book is a sweet pick.
