The Fairy Bell Sisters

review 1: So I am looking for a substitute for the series of Fairy books that all first grade students want to read by Daisy Meadows. I do not like the word selections in them, it feels too old for the kids who read them and I do not like the characters or the plots.Sylva is a dear and I like how her sisters treat her and how she does save the day. It is a little long for first graders. The ball idea is a little hachneyed, but teh total tone works for me.Besides there is glitter on the cover.
review 2: TinkerBell's little sister, Sylva Bell, is 7 years old. Her main goal in life is to attend the Fairy Ball, thrown by Queen Mab each year for 8+ year old fairies. But, her 8th birthday is the day after this year's Fairy Ball, so she cannot go. However, her older sisters... more can. So, Sylva comes up with ideas to make each of sisters' dresses better. In her mind, everything that she sews onto the dresses or alters makes them more beautiful. But, her sisters fail to see things that way. They all feel like she has ruined their ballgowns out of jealousy, since she cannot attend the Fairy Ball herself. Soon, the day of the Fairy Ball arrives, and Sylva is left at home baby-sitting their tiny sister, Squeak. She feels honored to have the job of watching sisters' wings. But, trouble soon strikes in the form of trolls, and only Sylva can save the day. So, she does. Sylva chases the trolls into the Fairy Ball, and defeats them. In honor of this feat, Queen Mab lets her stay at the Fairy Ball. Queen Mab also removes the age requirement, so that--from next year on--everyone can attend the Fairy Ball. And, she sends Sylva a special necklace as well.--------------------- I loved this. It was really cute and sweet. I never realized TinkerBell had so many sisters before this. I also liked that they did all work things out in the end, and that Sylva--who was cast out in the story--was the one that actually saved the day.-------------------- This was presented to me as an eARC, via Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed here are my own. less
