Review

Gabby, Lainey, Kate and Mia visit Pixie Hollow as often as possible. It is a magic fairyland that they access through the back of Gabby's closet. Of course, children are the only ones that can see fairies, though some adults that still believe can see them, too. Gabby is going to her first day of school, and, inadvertently, Spinner, a story-talent fairy, hitches a ride in her backpack hoping to witness a storytime. Of course, havoc ensues, wings are bent, Spinner is fairy-napped and Gabby's friends must come to the rescue. Young readers who like Daisy Meadows' series will find this series enchanting.

Overall Book Score: very good
