mmph, i dunno I guess it's a hard balance to strike but I feel like they were going for "don't talk down to kids" and ended up a little more at "your family is wrong and the system is right," but I also think often about the limits of standing by one's family at all costs these days and how of course you have to be there for them but that doesn't necessarily mean thinking they do no wrong, so I dunno.

This is the 16th book in the Tales of Pixie Hollow Series but it is the first book in which the character on the cover, and title, is not from their point of view. It is in the point of view of Prilla who notices that the Queen and the precious magical heart seed is missing.

As always the images are beautifully drawn. The story is sweet. I am a fan of Prilla the clumsy (their word for humans) fairy. Prilla runs into Lily and Beck. Beck is a animal fairy who can talk to all animals and show more talking to frogs is a hoot!

I was hoping this was a story featuring the Queen as the main character but sometimes you can not have everything. We get to hear little about Mother Dove which makes up a little for the lack in Queen Clarion’s story.

I love the Disney Fairies movies but I the books I enjoy more because there are more fairies and other characters then the movies. My wish is that the books continue to be on bookstore shelves for a long time to always enjoy. show less

One of the many animal talent fairies, Beck, wonders what else is in the world besides Pixie Hollow. She gets help from another fairy and a flock of birds that travel with her until she realizes where she is really needed.

I have said this before but I love the Disney fairies series more than Disney Princesses. The fairies find what their purpose is by finding their talent. Princesses kind of wait for fate to decide what their lives may be.

There are some holes in the story that was left show more unanswered. The fact that no one found who was hurting Mother Dove. Other than that it was a fairly entertaining book. show less

We enjoyed this snippet of the movie in book form. Teamwork and honesty were highlights, great for opening discussions.
