Review

When Kate inadvertently goes to soccer practice with some lingering fairy dust from Never Land on her and flies up into the air to block a goal, the coach puts her in as goalie for the first game of the season against a rival team that is very good. Kate now has to make a decision about crossing over to Never Land by herself to procure more fairy dust, as she and her three friends have promised always go to Never Land as group. Will she let down the team or her friends? It is very difficult to decide what to do and whether or not using fairy dust will be cheating. The smattering of illustrations in shades of black and gray fit perfectly with the text and will delight readers. This twelfth book in the Never Land series is filled with magic and adventure and will be devoured by the multitudes of youngsters that adore this series.

Overall Book Score: good
