Book Reviews of Spiderwort and the Princess of Haiku (The Fairy Chronicles)
Book Review: Good Book!
Summary: 4 Stars
What's Good about It
The fairies have unique personalities and are from many backgrounds.
Events in this book are interesting and hold the reader's attention throughout. (puzzles, scavenger hunt, etc...)
Descriptions in this book are very detailed of the fairies, scarecrow, meadows, bobcat, gnome, brownies, etc...
(The red haired, freckled twin brownies with fun nicknames are really cute.)
This is the first book of this series I have read and I didn't have a lot of questions about other things. It was a good storyline by itself. I don't feel like I have to read all of the other books though now I want to.
The mentor fairies older/supervisor fairies are interesting characters.
Protection of nature is nicely featured.
Children can learn things from this book like how to write Haiku Poetry and how to recognize the Ring around the Moon. It is not just fantasy there are reality factors built in.
Summary of Spiderwort and the Princess of Haiku (The Fairy Chronicles)
The Princess of Haiku, keeper of simple pleasures, has been kidnapped by her archenemies the Specter of Pandemonium and the Phantom of Excess, who currently inhabit two Ogre sisters, Plethora and Chaotica Glut. Simple pleasures everywhere are in danger.Guided only by a strange riddle from given to them by an Oak tree, Spiderwort, along with Rosemary Periwinkle and Cinnebar, have only a little while to find the Princess and get her to safety. As always the Fairies will have a little magical assistance this time from a well-meaning Scarecrow and the already ghostly Minstrel of Epic Poems.
A world without simple pleasures would be unbearable and it is has already started with the children of the world. If it should leave the adults as well, it might very well be gone for good. Luckily for everyone, Fairies are the best problem solvers around and Spiderwort is one of the fastest thinking of them all!
