review 1: I think young children would enjoy these books a lot, and they contain great themes of friendship and loyalty and problem solving. They aren't too cheesy or shallow.The only reason I gave this book three stars is because, as an adult, after reading the three books in rapid succession, I was getting a little weary of the obvious-ness of the themes--but again, this would likely be a good thing for young readers. Finally, at the end, the plots seemed to get more and more convoluted, which drove my detail-oriented brain a little nuts. The convolution made it much more of a stretch to understand or believe as well.But overall, I liked the series and I liked the themes. Four stars for an overall score.
review 2: This is the third Philippa Fisher story but it can ... moreeasily be read as a stand-alone. Philippa, our heroine, is spending the Christmas holidays in the village of Ravenleigh where she first met Robyn on a previous holiday. Robyn and Daisy are her best friends but Daisy lives ATC (above the clouds) as she is a “fairy god-sister”. Unfortunately, Daisy and Philippa inadvertently swap places and are obliged to test the boundaries of their friendship by completing a very challenging mission involving the missing Stone Fairy.It’s a very appealing read, targeted at girls aged 8 to 12 who appreciate good storytelling and feisty heroines. Told from multiple points of view, the result is a fast paced, magical tale which shows the value of true friendship. This is an ideal read for confident, independent readers and is enhanced by simple illustrations which break up the text. My 6 year old daughter can’t wait to read it! less
