My kids loved all the books in this serious and my 7 year old really identified with the lead character. Not too complex, a great book to read with our kids. I personally thought they were fun.

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.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Wicked Wizard (Pixie Tricks #8) (Paperback)

The first seven books were awesome. I loved reading about Sprite and Violet. This book was one of the best yet. I had to wait a week until it came in the mail, then I couldn't put it down. Just like the other books pixies are escaping and have to be caught. Sprite and Violet work with Leon and trick them all again to capture them just like in the first book. Wizard Finn is mean and nasty, and you have to read the book to see what they do to him. I can't wait to get book 9, I hope it comes out soon!!!
