Book Review: Secrets of the Fairy Ring by Dominic Guard

Can you see fairies?
Look carefully inside Secrets of Fairy Lore 
and you will find Mab  and the 
three Elemental Fairies in the 
Enchanted Fairy Wood. 
Move closer and join them
on their journey as they search for
 Mab's magical Fairy Dust.

As written on the left side of the page of this really delightful children's book. Illustrated by Marsela Hadjindak-Krec Tamsin Hinrichsen. Now this is one unique children's book. On the surface it looks like a book but lift the magnet a the side and pop! This is what you get in the inside.






Unique huh?


Queen Mab rules her Fairy Kingdom with enchanted stories. To aid her story telling, she uses the Fairy Dust to help her enhance her story. With this Fairy Dust, her subjects are happy and her kingdm flourished with joy and happiness.

One unfortunate day, when it was time for another story time Queen Mab has had her Fairy Dust stolen! Without her Fairy Dust, she wont be able to tell a story and if she can't tell a story, she wont be Queen anymore! What will happen to her people then?

The Queen summoned her favourite cousins the Elemental Fairies.




~*Fire*~
Known as Blaze to her close friends. She brave, fearless and tend to get playful at the wrong time. Think of RainbowDash from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

~*Water*
Known as Lilly to her friends. She is the cleverest and have the most level head on her shoulders among her cousins. Think of Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

~*Air*

Known as Faye to her friends, she is polite, quiet and shy, have the best diplomatic skills due to her gentle nature. Think of Fluttershy from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Now these cousins are so different from each other that they often break out in arguments. Queen Mab entrusted these three beautiful fairies to help her find her Fairy Dust as soon as possible. Thus begin adventure for these plucky fairies into the unknown. Alng the way, these girls learn the truth about the Fairy Dust thief and what it means to work together as a team.

I give this book 5/5 for it's effort for being aesthetic and creative. When reading this book I actually arranged the figurines on the table and looked at them every time the fairies have a turn in their dialogues! It was so much more fun that way! I think I will keep this to be passed down to my own future children.

Review ~ The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza

  I'd give this 3.5 stars. It's his first book so there's that.  The plot ran smoothly with realistic dynamics between character...
