From the Author
The Fairy Chronicles is a series of modern fairy tales full of magical creatures, both good and evil, and heroic characters who participate in dangerous missions to protect nature and fix serious problems. Ideal for all ages, reading levels ages 7 to 12, the stories include a diverse set of fairy characters and a wide variety of other magical creatures such as trolls, brownies, witches, dwarves, gnomes, elves, unicorns, goblins, wizards, dragons, ogres, magic gargoyles, gremlins, demons, nymphs, giants, and many more. Each story has some sort of problem to be solved such as recovering the stolen Shell of Laughter, helping to break an evil curse, solving the mystery of the Magic Snowglobe, rescuing kidnapped bat fairies, trying to locate missing human shadows, or helping a dragon complete a dangerous quest. Characters and readers learn interesting things such as why fairies fear jigsaw puzzles, what the trolls’ favorite foods are, how dragons are born, why the flamingo stands on one foot, the reason human beings have a shadow, what the grasshopper uses buttons for, where courage comes from, how hope is spread around the world, and what causes nightmares.

A Must Read, Full of Fun Tidbits
Having read the first book of this series, I was really looking forward to the second one coming out. I am not at all disappointed. The diversity of the characters impresses me as much as the fantasy aspect of this story. I am now a fan of trolls and gnomes, as well as fairies. I think some of the smallest details of the story are what really make it special, like the trolls getting confused and carrying glass bell jars, and the “volunteer vegetables” that sprout up without being planted and are considered by some to be magical. I am buying an extra copy of this for my nieces, and I am really looking forward to reading more from this writer in the future.

Great Style of Written Storytelling
This book has wonderful written style. The events that take place move along fairly quickly to hold the reader's interest. The book's content is also interesting with good depth of characters and an interesting mission. The small details in the book such as the trolls' love of stacking and sorting things, and the reason rabbits are not afraid of boots, add a lot of charm to this fairy tale. Overall this is a well written book and very memorable. I recommend it both for children and adults.
Exciting and Interesting Fairy Story
My daughter and I liked the first book of this series very much, but we like the second book even better. It is more exciting and has interesting characters added including The Sandman, the Dream Spider, and trolls. This book has both a happy ending and somewhat of a trick ending which adds to the excitement. We also loved the beginning of the story about rabbits not being scared by boots because "rabbits are too smart and boots are too dumb." It was so charming that it reminded us of some of the Winnie the Pooh stories we have read. We are really looking forward to reading more books in this series.
