Review

This title is a write-in journal for fans of The Never Girl series by Kiki Thorpe. The journal is divided into five sections: All about me, My friends, Fairies, Memories, and Hope and dreams. Each page provides a few sentences for writing prompts that tie-in with the various characters in the series. Some pages provide lines for completing the prompts while other pages are large blank spaces framed in purple that can be used to answer the prompts with drawings, photos and filling in dialogue bubbles. The pages are illustrated with Christy's signature illustrations in either black and white or purple wash. There are 2 pages of 50+ colorful stickers in the back. Teachers may use as supplemental ideas for writing, although there are no pages numbers for easy reference nor an index which is understandable since it is a journal. For libraries, this title is most useful as a reading incentive for fans of the series.

Overall Book Score: good
