The characters from this particular series should have been the ones that made it to the film adaptations. Prilla is so precious

I loved this series as a child. It was magical and whimsical, with a well-written plot. It is not happy-go-lucky. In fact certain events put the whole island of Neverland at stake. Easy to follow, I would say that this book is for 8 to 10-year-olds.

I cannot get over the fact that I totally forgot that there was a character named Bess in this book?? She is a very minor character, but still... what 1st grader doesn't love to see their name in a story?

This book has a quirky, somewhat contrived plot and a few surprising revelations about the inhabitants of Neverland (did you know that Tinker Bell specializes in repairing pots???) It has beautiful artwork, but unfortunately the artist did not read all the descriptions carefully (one of my pet peeves in book art or cover art).

Oh, to be a 5 inch tall fairy living in a tree, wearing flower petal dresses and acorn hats, eating berries as big as my head, using a leaf as an umbrella... That’s the life

This was one of my favorite books as a kid (the whole Pixie Hollow series, actually, but this one really kicked it off.) I absolutely fell in love with the world and would spend hours dreaming about the minutiae of my life as a fairy and coming up with ideas about how the Home Tree worked (seriously, I planned out the plumbing . )

But anyways, this book had a huge impact on me and that’s why I love it so much. Also I actually really like the writing style? The glimpses into other fairies thoughts (like Tink for example) are really cool and can be quite funny. Also the fairies aren’t all flowers and magic, they can be quite sarcastic and mean to each other and I always loved that.
