Disney Fairies Graphic Novel #1: Prilla's Talent

I've always loved Tinkerbell. She is the reason I like fairies...but generally, I get bored with fairy books. I had originally picked it up for my kids but I ended up reading them...My sons aren't really into Tinkerbell, so, why I picked it up, I don't know...Maybe because I like Tink I guess...lol...I will make them sit through Tinkerbell movies with me just to say I had a reason to be sitting there watching Tinkerbell...A grown woman! Don't Judge me! lol

But, anyway, it was a cute book...A few stories in one little book...If you have kids who love Tinkerbell, and maybe even comics, or even just you, this is a perfect little book..Colorful, cute stories...

It took me a couple days to read only because I was also reading other things and show more would just pick it up if my son had my Kindle and/or I just didn't want to read anything else at the moment...

Will I read another one? I'm not sure...Maybe if I am looking for an easy read, or I'm in between books and maybe waiting on a book I ordered or placed a hold for at the library...:o) show less

꧁ Eighteenth graphic novel of the Disney Fairies series ꧂

❁ Probably the best Tink graphic novel of all the eight I have read so far.

❁ Contains twelve stories in all. Each story is an independent small tale, so not more than 4-5 pages long.

❁ This book is set AFTER the sixth and final Tinker Bell movie (‘Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast’), so there are some references you might not get if you haven't watched the movie. (And if you haven’t watched the movie, please watch it! It’s my favourite!)

❁ Again, this graphic novel has the movie characters in the lead roles. For once, Vidia is not the evil one. The earlier graphic novels really didn’t do her justice. Nyx from Neverbeast also makes an appearance in show more this book.

❁ The text is easy to understand, perfect for the target age group of 6-10 year olds.

❁ The illustrations are wonderful, with a rainbow of colours on every page. The characters resembled their movie version, so yay!

❁ Most of the stories in this set were great. In fact, not a single one of them earned less than 3.5 stars, which is a first for this series!

❁ Story-wise ratings: show less

This was a fairly cute graphic novel geared towards pre-teens. I suppose that it would serve as a good introduction to graphic novels for that age-group or would be a fun read for fans of Disney princesses and fairies. The storylines are fairly cute while pretty simplistic, but the individual stories seem to jump around quite a bit with no real transitions or character building. I did think that the art work was all rather well done.

All in all, not a bad book for preteens but I would have liked to have seen a better effort made at character development and having a more cohesive storyline.

I received a free review copy of Disney Fairies: Prilla's Talent through the LibraryThing Member Giveaway program.

I am interested in seeing more females reading in the comic and graphic novel genres, so I was excited when I saw Disney was using Tinker Bell as a launching character for a new graphic novel series. The book is broken into four short stories revolving around Tinker Bell and her friends. Each story includes a basic moral about friendship, hard work and ingenuity without too much dramatic tension or conflict and no violence to make it appropriate for the youngest readers. The artwork is phenomenal, bright and colorful while still incorporating great detail. It's in the typical Disney style, but the background art leaves show more little to be desired for any comic fan. The format is easy to follow. As a bonus, the book includes a preview of another series, Classics Illustrated Deluxe, which also looks promising for young readers of both genders. show less
