Book Reviews of Beck Beyond the Sea (Disney Fairies)
Book Review: Another good Pixie Hollow book
Summary: 4 Stars
"Beck Beyond The Sea"
Written by Kirsten Larsen; Illustrated by Denise Shimabukuro
(Disney/Random House, 2007)
This is one of the more engaging books in Disney's Tinker Bell-related Pixie Hollow series, albeit one with an interesting subtext. Beck, an "animal-talent" fairy with a close connection to the mystical creature called Mother Dove, who is the font of magic in the fairyland called Pixie Hollow. Beck is also restless and dreams of seeing the wide world outside, and tries various means to become able to fly with the migrating birds who fly across the seas. Each of her experiments fails, and she is gulled into trusting bad-girl fairy Vidia, who gives her a way to fly farther and faster than any other fairy -- an illegal supply of super-duper fairy dust, which Vidia made from feathers that were plucked from Mother Dove herself. Beck resists, but is ultimately too tempted by her own desires, and when she finally uses the dust, she is propelled into the most exciting journey of her life.
The anti-drug message is unmistakable, although curiously mixed. Beck (and more to the point, Vidia) get into trouble in the end for using the illicit fairy dust, and yet Beck does have a liberating, life-enriching experience which she does not seem to regret. Beck is made less culpable because she returns as a hero, helping catch Vidia in the act of stealing more feathers -- and yet her use of the illicit powder itself is not clearly condemned. Who knew the folks at Disney had this much moral relativism in them? At any rate, this is also one of the more fun and imaginative Pixie Hollow books -- Beck's journey to foreign lands is exciting and evocative, and this makes for one of the strongest narratives in the series. Definitely worth checking out if you're into the other books! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)
Summary of Beck Beyond the Sea (Disney Fairies)
Beck can't help wondering what lies outside Pixie Hollow. Then Beck meets a flock of Explorer Birds and has her chance. With Vidia's special pixie dust, Beck can fly faster and farther than ever before. She joins the far-flying Explorer Birds, to see what's beyond the sea. But why would selfish Vidia help Beck? Is it possible she just wants Beck to leave Pixie Hollow . . . for good?New Experiences Books
