Synopsis
Periwinkle, who has just been officially adopted by the Martinez family and who has just gotten back from a trip to see her great-grandfather in an Indian reservation in New Mexico is chosen to be the leader of the team. This time the team will have not only four fairies, Periwinkle, Spiderwort, Rosemary and Cinnabar, but will also have representatives from other magical creatures. Tom the Leprechaun will lend a hand, along with Annie The Troll, who is so forgetful it might be hard for her to do much good, Mr Ambertoes, the wood gnome, and, most interestingly, a Dwarf who might just have to give up the greatest secret a dwarf has (his name) if the Cave is going to be restored.

Customer Reviews

Terrific Book
I have been very pleasantly surprised by this lovely fairy series. What makes this book terrific is the fact that it is about different kinds of courage and about different kinds of folks. Each of the very different characters that include a troll, two brownies, a dwarf, a gnome, a leprechaun, and four fairies have to find courage within them to complete their mission. They have to trust each other and work well as a team. If they don't do this, they will fail. This is a wonderful way to present the different types of courageous acts. Near the end of the book, all but one of the team members have to generously acknowledge that another has shown more courage than they have. In doing this, they forfeit a fantastic prize. However, the recipient of the prize is incredibly generous and ends up sharing with everyone. This is a terrific book.

Lovely books for 6-10 yo
My daughter has read most of this series and enjoyed them all. They were perfect when she was learning to read and the beautiful pictures inspired many drawings. The fairies solve various problems that correlate to the problems girls can face which also makes for a nice opening to talk about things that happen at school and other situations.

Nice Message about Diversity
We have been reading the books of this series at bedtime. This is our favourite so far. It has a nice message about accepting people for who they are and embracing diversity. My own two children were completely engrossed by this story. We read it in two nights. One of my nieces whom I passed the book onto told me, "Auntie Ruthie, this is the best book I ever read." I agree it is very good and we will be enjoying this fairy story as a bedtime read again.
