Liz Kessler (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 3 and up | Series: Philippa Fisher

Philippa Fisher reunites with her spunky fairy godsister in a sparkling new adventure from the creator of Emily Windsnap.

Philippa Fisher is trying to have a good time on vacation with her parents, but she’s feeling lonely. When she meets Robyn, a girl with sad eyes and a strict father, she enjoys the company, but can’t help wondering what Robyn and her dad might be hiding. Meanwhile, Daisy, Philippa’s best friend (and fairy godsister), sneaks into her former charge’s room for a visit, but now has a furtive new mission and must dash away. Philippa longs to uncover the reasons behind her friends’ odd behavior, but friendships can be tricky when there are secrets — and unexpected danger — involved! Best-selling author Liz Kessler is back with a sympathetic story about navigating between old friends and new, a tale full of mystery, whimsy, and all the magic tween readers could wish for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read for Girls that Love to Dream, November 9, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Philippa Fisher and the Dream-Maker's Daughter (Hardcover)

I am 11 years old and loved this book. I also read the first novel in the series, Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister, and enjoyed it so much I am currently writing it into play form for me and my friends to put on. I like this book for its great description, touch of magic, and scenarios any girl can relate to. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that can read.
