The most beautiful book from my childhood! I used to listen to the audio book and fall asleep to it every night when I was a little girl. 10/10 would read to my future children

This book surprised me, because as many times as I've looked at the cover and thought that I'd like to read it, I never realized it was Disney-related. When Tinkerbell first appeared I was a little shocked. And when I found out she was a Pots and Pans Fairy, I was a little stunned, since Tinkerbell always seemed a little prissy. Overall I enjoyed the story and liked the theme of finding your place in the world. The fairy characters were reasonably well developed, and fun to follow on their journey.
This would undoubtedly appeal to girls. Probably upper elementary girls who were also into the Disney Princesses, but are looking for something a little older. Not to say that some boys might not enjoy this (there's a dragon, flying, adventure), but the fairies are the focus, and most of them are girls.

Um what the heck is up with all the fairies being so incredibly mean. I liked the concept of the book, but what the duck.

I loved these fairy books as a kid. It was cool to read the one that started it all! 

The illustrations were delightful and I loved all the characters and the humor that Gail Carson Levine puts into the story. 

Some of the plot felt a little repetitive when Prilla was trying out different talents. That's my only issue. Otherwise, this was a fun read, definitely targeted towards young readers.
