After reading this delightful book about fairies and friendships and growing up and fairy dust and moss bombs, I'm curious about the rest of the series. But never fear, Book 5 -- FROWNS AND GOWNS stands on its own.
There are some frowns (that made me chuckle and that pay off, in the end) in that some fairies don't want to participate in any way in the upcoming fairy ball. But there are even more smiles and gowns--and even gowns that help save the day--in said ball. This makes the read enjoyable, especially since we all know non-fairies who live for a school dance and others who will do anything to get out of all the fuss. We know the bossy organizers and the over-avoiders. And then there's the caregivers who both give leeway and help the fairies stay out of too much trouble. Some of us have even experienced the last-minute costume glitches. All together I enjoyed this glance into young fairy world because of its diverse set of characters: girls and boys who come in all shapes, sizes, talents, troubles, and desires. Plus, the excitement builds (both ways) as the big day approaches. Also, the book also gives quite a fair look at what it is like to be on a committee--and to be a team player. (I'm glad those committee chapters didn't last too long and had good twists).
FROWNS AND GOWNS is a fast read and a fun look at how to get along, as well as how to be yourself. I'm not the expert on reader age group, but I definitely see chapter book readers who are still young at heart enjoying this book.
