5.0 out of 5 stars Fairy Realm series, thumbs up, July 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Magic Key (Fairy Realm No. 5) (Hardcover)

In the eyes of my 7 year old, all 5 Fairy Realm books are awesome. We checked the first one out at the library. She read it and loved it. When she realized it was a series, we jumped at the chance to purchase the rest in order. She has read each one up to #5 and loved them all. She related to the character, loved the adventures and cannot wait to dive into #6. My daughter's an avid reader and loves adventure series. Emily Rodda does a great job writing and tells an intriguing story. It pleased me that though the books are very lively, they aren't too scary for younger readers.

My daughter read each book with so much excitement that she could not wait to read what happened next. This is a wonderful writer that can keep a child so fascinated with her story telling. We cannot wait to read more stories from this author. So far, we have read all 10 books in this series. Again, great books!

My daughter discovered the Fairy Realm series at our local library. She immediately was captivated and insisted that I find all the other books and check them out so she could read them. Within a week she had read all ten books in the series. She loves them. I read one in the series and they are well written, the illustrations are wonderful and the stories immediately draw you in. These books are well worth the time to read and would make a good addition to any children's library.
