Customer Reviews

Simply Inspirational
My daughter, a fairy herself, disappears into each new Fairy Chronicle book. When she returns, several hours later, she is filled with excitement and inspiration - she then designs her own Web of Dreams friendship bracelet or composes her own shadow poem. The entire series is a wonderful example of storytelling, mixing fact and fantasy, making the brave young heroines partners with the natural world around them, giving my young reader a place to explore various methods of expression.
We own every one in print, and have pre-ordered the titles yet to be released.

J.H. Sweet, Thank You for the magic.

These modern fairytales can't be beat! Wonderful series!
J. H. Sweet ...
What a treat ...
Writing 'bout fairies,
she can't be beat.

Book one was pure delight;
Book two is "out of sight."

Book three is a kid's dream,
Book four will make them beam.

But wait till you see what's in store;
of fairy books, she has plenty more.

Each of this author's books stands alone as far as story-line, and I discovered something new about fairies and fairy lore in each one. She's a fine writer, so good at her craft that the fairies came alive for me. Interesting story-lines, colorful characters in an exciting, entertaining format.

I have all of this series, including the few that were published by another publisher ... which are collector's items now. I could hardly wait until December 15th for this one and another one (the latest two) to be released. Then the 15th caught me unawares, so I'm a few days late posting this review.

Highly recommended.

Cinnabar and the Island of Shadows
Cinnabar is a moth fairy. She has pretty red wings. She gets to ride on a turtle in the sea with Mimosa and Dewberry. One of the lady fairies in this story has a very tiny hummingbird feather wand. We have hummingbird feeders and hummingbirds. The island has a volcano. The shadowmakers make human beings shadows. One of the shadowmakers is a doublecrosser. The fairies help the King and Queen of the shadowmakers get shadows back that were stolen. I think Cinnabar has a very important job as a fairy. She is a pretty girl ballerina in real life. This is a good book about a fairy who is a girl ballerina in real life.
