Great Series! My daughter (7) devoured the first two books of the Pixie Tricks Series. Mom loved the strong girl character Voilet. Voilet is very clever and brave. Several "naughty" faires have escaped from the Otherworld and are playing tricks everywhere. Voilet along with a good fairy, Sprite, must use the fairy clues to figure out how to trick the "naughty" faires back to the OtherWorld.

This review is from: Pixie Tricks #03: the Pet-store Sprite (Paperback)

My kindergartner loves to read and especially adores stories about fairies. When I came across the Pixie Tricks books, I knew she would love them, and she does! The story in this book centers around a young girl named Violet who teams up with a fairy called Sprite to help send some pesky escaped fairies back to their own world. The chapters are relatively short which makes it a perfect story for young readers to build their reading confidence and also to entice reluctant readers into reading.
There are also colorful pixie stickers included here which can be placed in The Book of Pixie Tricks found in the first two books in the series, Sprite's Secret and The Greedy Gremlin. This activity booklet included at the back of the two books includes comprehension activities, spaces where children can place the stickers, and other interesting activities. This is an engaging series, perfect for young readers, Grades K-4.
