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.

So apparently every fairytale/fantasy book I liked as a child was written by Gail Carson Levine and I never knew it??????

Wasn’t sure what to expect but that was super cute. Also heavy for a Disney fairy book for kids too

My daughter and I enjoyed listening to this third book in the series. These stories answered a lot of questions that she had reading the future Fairies books.

One of my favorite books as a kid. Has my name scrawled inside the cover in pen from when I was 6 (which I know because right below my name, I scribbled “age 6” in there, too). Reread it today at the ripe old age of 20 as I was going through my bookshelves, and you know what? It holds up.
It’s surprisingly… idk what word to use here. Tragic? Not quite— it’s a happy ending, as you could probably guess from the genre— but there are tragic parts of it. Drastic, maybe? It covers a lot, really thoroughly and really easily. Read this to/with your kids. It’s fantastic.
Also, I never knew there was a sequel. Maybe it’s just cuz I’m in a sentimental mood, but I’m thinking I’m gonna track that down and read it one of these days.

I loved these books when I was younger so I’m rereading both Disney Fairies series for nostalgias sake. They’re well-written, easy to read, and so magical. They do quite a bit of world building.
I didn’t remember this trilogy being so dark. Tink is a real b. The artwork is stunning, and is definitely a standout.

Finally... the story alluded to in the introduction to every book in the other disney fairy series. The plot was very dramatic in a way that works here, although perhaps too much time was spent on the lead up to the titular quest. The character work is what really shines here, I liked the look into Vidia's thoughts especially. I also liked how the changes in perspective were utilized. I didn't enjoy the worldbuilding as much, but it was still interesting to see how it influenced future book.
