Fairylicious
Print and e-book, 192 pages
Published April 28th 2013 by Twisted Spice Publications
Bex meant well. She always means well, but somehow trouble follows her wherever she goes. Bex thinks she's doing something nice when she blows out her birthday candles and wishes for fairies for her and each of her friends. The good news: Bex's wish comes true. The bad news: Maize, Blush, Olive, and Iris are not the fairies the girls were expecting.
These fairies are allergic to pixie dust and afraid of heights. On top of that, every wish they grant ends up being a disaster. Bex thought fairies were supposed to make life easier. Between these fractured fairies, an aunt and a teacher who seem to hate her, and the perils of being the biggest kid in the sixth grade--will Bex survive?
My thoughts about Fairylicious ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First line—"'B...E...X,' I said to myself as I traces the wooden letters on my bedroom wall with the dusting cloth. That was my name; never Rebecca, or Becca, and definitely not Becky."
This was a fun, enjoyable, quick read for me. I immediately fell in love with Bex. She's a delightful 12 year old, whose life is a bit tough, at home and at school. But she still believes in fairies so I felt connected to her, because how can you not? She has one wish and that is to have her very own fairy. That would make life perfect and what could go wrong? Well...... things get worse before they get better.
Fairylicious contains many good life lessons for youngsters and will appeal to young readers in so many ways. I think a lot of readers will relate to the issues that Bex encounters in school and will learn that it is okay.
I received Fairylicious via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
