I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It would be perfect to read to a little girl
who enjoys fairies at bedtime, a chapter at a time. The pictures are beautiful as well. This was a nice change to other kids stories
that I’ve read, in that it was still a simple read, but was written very
well. I feel like this is a great book
for kids to really start understanding how to write and tell stories, as well
as just being entertaining for the kids.
This story is not a typical fairy story – if you’re thinking
it’s going to be like the reinvented Tinker Bell stories, you would be
wrong. In this world there are day and
night fairies, and they have magic that gets stronger during their time of
day. Flory has a bad experience as a
very young fairy and has to learn how to live without wings all by herself. She
didn’t have anyone teach her how to be friends, etc. In this story, you see Flory grow both in her
magic and learn how to make relationships.
I really enjoyed watching her explore and learn about the
garden and all the creatures that live within the garden. I especially love
Hummingbirds, so that was the best part to me.
The story has a happy ending and I wish Flory all the best. I would love to read more stories by this
author.
