"A well told story of a little girl and her encounters with fairies. I loved how the story went from grandmother, to son, and to Celia. The characters are charming and seem to just pop off the page. This is a good read for any age. It is a good story to read to your children with a very good message."
— Suzanne (4 out of 5 stars)
" This is just a fairly short, cute little story about a young girl and her encounter with some helpful little fairies, who live the woods behind her house. Charming - you can't help but smile after you read this. "
— Kitty, 1/16/2014" Cliches galore. Major plot flaws. Predictable ending. Didn't care for the characters. Did not enjoy this book. "
— Bethany, 1/16/2014" I bought this book on impulse, the author is hyped as one of the better amazon kindle singles authors but I was pretty disappointed with the story. I have 3 other titles I purchased, hope they turn out to be a better read. I'll read a scattered life next before I give up on Karen McQuestion. "
— Haya, 12/27/2013" Very cute story. A quick read! "
— Mel, 12/24/2013" Excellent read for the 8-10 set, and entertaining enough for adults as well. Has a bit of moral to the story, but doesn't smack you in the face with it. I think this story of Celia and the fairies that she discovers in her backyard would be a wonderful read-aloud selection. "
— Jessica, 12/21/2013" This is a charming book and would be great to read to a child. I was reminded of nights when my grandma would read to my sister and I before bed. If you have a child in your life pick this one up. If you have a Kindle, this is a steal at 99 cents! "
— Tanya, 12/1/2013" An Adorable Middle Grade Book, definitely am saving for mt future kids. "
— Kelsey, 10/24/2013" I think the demographic for this book is grade school girls, which I didn't realize when I purchased it. Given that information, it was okay. I probably would have enjoyed it when I was seven. Not so much as an adult, however. "
— Inger, 10/11/2013" This is a wonderful modern day telling of a fairy story and how a little girl gets to help them to change her world. It is very well told, and I am hoping my three girls will love it as much as I did! "
— Michelle, 9/18/2013" Good for all ages - cool fantasy book. "
— Marlene, 6/29/2013" It was all right. It had moments where I got into the story, and moments where I didn't really care about what I was reading. It was cute, but that's about it. "
— Kelsey, 1/29/2013" This is a VERY cute story! I would recommend it for anyone 10 and over! I loved it and it is for sure one I want in my collection for my girls! "
— Erin, 11/18/2012" It was ok. Nothing spectacular. "
