5.0 out of 5 stars Magical read for children, June 24, 2001

If you're looking for a series for your child that's easier to read than Harry Potter, then this is the series for you. My 7 year old daughter hated reading. It was a battle. We tried Harry Potter but the book was way too long for a young reader to read by herself plus some of the words were too difficult and it became frustrating for her. Then I found Pixie Tricks. After starting the first book in the series (Sprite's Secret) my daughter began to realize how wonderful reading can really be. These easy to read books are divided into manageable chapters so that confidence is built as each chapter is read. You won't find your child getting discouraged when the end of the chapter seems too far to get to. So if you have a reluctant reader, take them on a magical journey to Violet's world where fairies really do exist and reading is fun.

In researching children's books for my own writing projects, I came across this book in my church library. While waiting for church to begin one Sunday I began reading it.

I love to read children's books ... and to write them ... so was delighted with this one. If the rest of the series is as good as this first book, PIXIE TRICKS will be a real winner.

This is an easy read for the young crowd, and the Sunday School teacher said the kids just adore the pixies. They play games where they pretend to be pixies and use their imaginations to think of more tricks for these fun-loving characters to perform.

I highly recommend this book.
