FIVE STARS The Fairies of Bladderwhack Pond is a great story for kids and teens alike This wonderful fairytale has modern references to kids as they live today. It's like Harry Potter for kid's today Debbie and Andy have created a really fun book that will be cherished --amazon reader Imagine a world where perfection glistens under every leaf and the flutter of wings is not just movement, but art. Chloe Pillywiggin stands out like a thistle in a field of roses. When her town is mysteriously flooded, Chloe, an orphan, and her two unique friends are forced to attend Penstamen Academy-home of the impeccable Periwinkle Fairies. Labeled as outcasts, they deal with the complexities of the new school, adversaries, fashion and magic classes with courage and unwittingly unravel an ancient mystery that sends them on an adventure into the wicked realm of the Heatherworld. Fairy dust is scarce and magic without it doesn't work. Our unlikely heroes confront the essence of magic itself, proving that even in the absence of fairy dust, courage and friendship wield a magic of their own.
We were given this book on the last day of Comic Con 2008. It is a great book for family bedtime story nights. The chapters were just the right lenght. The story line held my 7 and 9 year olds' attention. The illistrations are very colorful and compelling for a children's book. I also appreciated the occasional complicated word choices so we could have vocabulary discussions. My girls could identify with the characters and the trying social times that occurred but the adventures were not too scary for bedtime. I'm looking for the next in the series.
great book
