So for a while now, I've wanted to start doing some book reviews. I figured it would be fun and quite enjoyable. For my first review, this is a trip down memory lane. Jacqueline Wilson was a part of my childhood and I adored her books when I was younger. So when I saw this book coming out, I knew I had to get it as a gift to my childhood which I deeply miss (life was so much easier back then). Plus you can never beat a trip down memory lane.
Description:
Mab's mum is obsessed with fairies - she even named Mab after the Fairy Queen! Their flat is full of fairy ornaments, tiny fairy furniture and they've even got fairy lights in the toilet. Mab doesn't quite get it, but she knows that fairies make her mum happy, especially after Dad left.
When Mab comes into school with a new fairy dress on her birthday, her teacher gives her a book all about Victorian fairies. She reads it with her mum and her little brother Robin, and she's surprised to see the drawings inside are nothing like the sweet fairies she imagined.
But the biggest surprise of all is a tiny thing that tumbles out of the pages of the book...
A magical, captivating story about fairies, families and friendship from the brilliant, award-winning Jacqueline Wilson.
Review:
4/5 Stars
When I first saw this book on Amazon, I felt my inner child leap for joy. Reading was a part of my childhood (still is) and Jacqueline Wilson was one of my favourite authors. I adored her books and this one is no different. Project Fairy is a very magical story about a girl called Mab who finds herself at a loss when she discovers a fairy. As well as all the magic that comes with this book, sadly there is some heartbreak with it as Mab discovers some hardships of life including being bullied and having an absent parent. Jacqueline writes in such a way that you feel like you've been brought back to your inner child when reading her books. I know her books are meant for younger audiences but I couldn't resist. I owed it to my childhood.
The friendships in this book are somewhat complicated and at first, Mab doesn't have any friends but soon learns that she really does and that there are people who care.
Overall, this book was charming and magical. I definitely recommend getting this for your kids if that' what you're looking for or if you're just looking to take a trip down memory lane like me. I hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I do.
