The Peskie Spell (Fairy Realm No.9) [Hardcover]

Emily Rodda (Author), Raoul Vitale (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up | Grade Level: 2 and up

The magical world of the Realm has a terrible problem -- a plague of mischievous, troublemaking Peskies. A wild west wind has brought the tiny creatures down from the hills in the thousands. They're making life in the Realm impossible, and eating up all the magic!

It's been hundreds of years since the last Peskie plague, and even Queen Helena doesn't know what to do. Then Jessie comes up with an answer: an old, forgotten spell that will lead her and her friends on a fascinating journey -- and straight into trouble.

This review is from: The Peskie Spell (Fairy Realm No.9) (Hardcover)

[note: this review was dictated to me by my seven year old daughter who has read most of this series. Mostly her mother has been reading this series to her for a couple of years but now she's old enough to read (or re-read!) them herself. We now own the whole series.]

"I really liked when they walked on the Ribbon Road to Dally Glade to get the Sky-Mirror flower. This book in number nine in the series and it is my second favorite book in the series. My first favorite "The Third Wish" -- the third book in the series.

I think lots of girls will like this series because it is magical and there are lots of fairies, unicorns and elves."
